Scope
Programs overview
DriveX runs two complementary formats: the Workshop Series for research exchange and the Tutorial Program for structured technical instruction aligned with the same annual themes.
Together, they advance physical AI for mobility across reasoning-centric autonomy, world models and 3D/4D scene intelligence, and cooperative systems for real-world deployment.

Workshop series
About the Workshop Series
The DriveX Workshop Series is a recurring forum for presenting frontier research, exchanging methods, and connecting communities across physical AI and intelligent transportation.
Each edition is hosted at a different venue and may be co-organized by different teams, while remaining aligned with the same initiative-level research vision and branding.
This model supports continuity across years, encourages cross-community dialogue, and strengthens long-term visibility for DriveX as a public research platform.
Strategy
Why a cross-venue workshop series
Research on autonomy, embodied AI, cooperative systems, perception, reasoning, and deployment spans multiple academic communities. Major contributions emerge across AI, computer vision, robotics, and transportation venues, but these communities do not always stay connected over time.
The DriveX Workshop Series helps bridge this gap by providing recurring, cross-venue continuity.
By maintaining a consistent initiative framework across conferences and years, the series supports broader scientific exchange and stronger collaboration across related disciplines.
Themes
Workshop themes
The Workshop Series remains broad in scope while highlighting shared program themes in each annual cycle.
Reasoning-centric autonomy
High-level scene understanding, embodied reasoning, semantic grounding, and decision-making for autonomous systems in complex real-world environments.
World models and 3D/4D scene intelligence
Predictive world representations, scene modeling, simulation-oriented representations, and richer environment understanding for embodied systems.
Cooperative physical AI for real-world deployment
Cooperative perception, infrastructure-assisted autonomy, V2X, multimodal sensing, and deployment-oriented evaluation for intelligent transportation systems.
Additional workshop topics may include multimodal perception, robustness, simulation, generalization, safety, infrastructure intelligence, and broader real-world systems integration.

Current and upcoming editions
Tutorials
DriveX tutorial program
Tutorials are presented under the same initiative umbrella as the Workshop Series. They emphasize practical depth through method walkthroughs, benchmark introductions, and tooling guidance linked to the DriveX Grand Challenge and Research Assets ecosystem.
Each tutorial page keeps consistent initiative attribution while preserving host-venue specifics.
Tutorial offerings
The public tutorial program currently highlights the ICCV 2025 edition. Additional venues will be listed here when their external pages are finalized.
Initiative
How workshops and tutorials fit within DriveX
The Workshop Series and Tutorial Program are core recurring components of DriveX.
DriveX provides shared scientific direction and initiative identity across workshops, tutorials, challenge programs, research assets, and seminars. Individual editions can be tailored to host-venue audiences while remaining aligned with common program themes.
This structure supports both open collaboration and a coherent UCLA-led program identity.
Audience
Who workshops and tutorials are for
The Workshop Series is aimed at researchers presenting and debating frontier work. Tutorials additionally target students, engineers, and teams who benefit from structured walkthroughs of methods, benchmarks, and tooling.
Both formats serve researchers, students, and practitioners across AI, computer vision, robotics, intelligent transportation, infrastructure intelligence, and related applied autonomy domains.
It is especially designed for communities interested in:
- physical AI and embodied intelligence;
- autonomous driving and intelligent mobility;
- multimodal perception and scene understanding;
- cooperative autonomy and V2X;
- reasoning and world models;
- deployment-oriented evaluation and real-world systems.
By crossing venue boundaries, the series helps connect participants who may not otherwise meet within a single conference ecosystem.
People
Organizers
The DriveX Workshop Series may be co-led by broader teams of organizers and collaborators across different editions and venues, while remaining part of the broader DriveX initiative.
Program contacts — see the People page for Mobility Lab stewards; each edition lists its organizing committee separately.
Edition organizers — see individual workshop and tutorial pages for host-venue-specific program information.
Ecosystem
Relationship to other DriveX programs
Workshops and tutorials are closely connected to the rest of the DriveX ecosystem.
Workshop editions and tutorials may highlight results from the DriveX Grand Challenge, introduce benchmark directions, showcase datasets and research assets, and create collaboration pathways through the seminar and community network.
Together, these programs help DriveX function not only as a recurring event series, but as a longer-term initiative for advancing physical AI and intelligent transportation.
The DriveX Workshop Series and DriveX tutorials are part of the broader DriveX initiative led by UCLA and developed with partner institutions and collaborators.
