Real-world autonomous driving, particularly in urban environments with numerous corner cases, requires rigorous testing to ensure product safety and robustness. However, few studies have explored integrating adversarial scenario generation with the training of safety agents in closed-loop testing, enabling efficient co-evolution and mutual enhancement of both. To address this challenge, an adversarial behavior knowledge repository is constructed by applying rule-based filtering to an open-source dataset, combined with knowledge retrieval modules tailored for simulation environments. A large language model (LLM) is employed to integrate knowledge-, data-, and adversarial-driven approaches, generating safety-critical traffic scenarios customized to user needs. Additionally, while evaluating the generated scenarios, we employ reinforcement learning models to train the behaviors of different types of vehicles, thereby enriching scenario diversity beyond existing datasets while preserving realism. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework improves the accuracy of domain-specific language generation by 12\%. Moreover, the success rate of newly generated scenario transformations increases by 8\%, while obstacle-avoidance capability is enhanced by 30\%.

Trajectory prediction serves as a critical functionality in autonomous driving, enabling the anticipation of future motion paths for traffic participants such as vehicles and pedestrians, which is essential for driving safety. Although conventional deep learning methods have improved accuracy, they remain hindered by inherent limitations, including lack of interpretability, heavy reliance on large-scale annotated data, and weak generalization in long-tail scenarios. The rise of Large Foundation Models (LFMs) is transforming the research paradigm of trajectory prediction. This survey offers a systematic review of recent advances in LFMs, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) for trajectory prediction. By integrating linguistic and scene semantics, LFMs facilitate interpretable contextual reasoning, significantly enhancing prediction safety and generalization in complex environments. The article highlights three core methodologies: trajectory-language mapping, multimodal fusion, and constraint-based reasoning. It covers prediction tasks for both vehicles and pedestrians, evaluation metrics, and dataset analyses. Key challenges such as computational latency, data scarcity, and real-world robustness are discussed, along with future research directions including low-latency inference, causality-aware modeling, and motion foundation models.
