Overview

Pretrained driving policies of py123d_garage, the reference toolkit of the Alpasim E2E Challenge 2026. All belong to release v0.2.0 and were trained on Physical AI AV, NuRec and nuPlan.

Scores: local AlpaSim closed loop, 0 to 100, mean ± std over three seeds, on the 441 NuRec scenes of the Physical AI track and the 1485 scenes of the nuPlan track. Setting: take-over after 1.7 s on NuRec and 0.5 s on nuPlan, 2 Hz replanning, no route memory or extrapolation, NuRec harmonizer on, AlpaSim commit e121e59. Each policy's folder holds the per-scene results under results/.

* submitted to the AlpaSim E2E Challenge 2026 leaderboard; the policy's README lists the leaderboard's result.
