Abstract - Diffusion Forcing Planner: History-Annealed Planning with Time-Dependent Guidance for Autonomous Driving
Learning-based motion planners, despite recent progress, often suffer from temporal inconsistency. Small perturbations across frames can accumulate into unstable trajectories, degrading comfort and safety in closed-loop driving. Several methods attempt to inject history as a static conditioning signal to stabilize outputs, only to induce the planner to copy historical patterns instead of adapting to environment contexts. To address this limitation, we propose Diffusion Forcing Planner (DFP), a diffusion-based planning framework driven by history-guided control. Specifically, DFP decomposes the full trajectory into history, current and future segments, and assign independent noise levels to each segment. The model jointly denoises the historical and the future segments, enforcing a heterogeneous joint diffusion process. At inference, classifier-free guidance (CFG) is applied to steer future sampling using annealed history in a controllable manner. Closed-loop evaluation and comprehensive ablations on nuPlan show that DFP achieves competitive performance while producing continuous, stable, and controllable motion plans in complex driving scenarios.
