The proposed method pre-trains visual autonomous driving agents using self-distillation without labels, which surpasses traditional classification-based pre-training in efficiency. By leveraging the DINO method, the visual encoder is trained on an unrelated task, enabling implicit image understanding capabilities. The approach achieves comparable results to a VPRPre-based pre-training method while being more efficient. This study contributes to the development of robust and capable visual autonomous driving agents.

This paper helps create better self-driving cars by training their cameras using a new way to learn without needing human labels. Traditionally, these cameras are trained to recognize specific things, like roads or traffic lights. But this method doesn’t allow them to understand the world in a more general sense. The new approach uses a different type of learning called “self-supervised learning” and trains the camera on an unrelated task. This makes the camera better at recognizing things without needing specific labels. The results show that this new approach is faster and just as good as other methods.
