The field of human mobility and autonomous systems is rapidly evolving, with a focus on developing more accurate and equitable models for predicting human behavior and improving autonomous vehicle performance. Recent research has highlighted the importance of considering demographic disparities in mobility prediction models, with some studies proposing novel sampling strategies to reduce performance gaps between different user groups. Additionally, there is a growing interest in developing more realistic models of pedestrian-driver interactions, incorporating human perceptual-motor constraints and multi-agent reinforcement learning. Other notable trends include the use of multimodal feature integration and stacked ensemble-based architectures for predicting post-wildfire vegetation loss, and the development of unified models for human mobility generation in natural disasters. Noteworthy papers in this area include 'Mind the Gaps: Auditing and Reducing Group Inequity in Large-Scale Mobility Prediction', which proposes a fairness-aware sampling strategy to reduce demographic performance gaps, and 'Alpamayo-R1: Bridging Reasoning and Action Prediction for Generalizable Autonomous Driving', which introduces a vision-language-action model that integrates Chain of Causation reasoning with trajectory planning.
