核心创新

快慢分离的双层世界模型

传统世界模型:
  当前状态 → [单一模型] → 未来预测 + 行动生成
  问题: 短期细节和长期规划用同一个模型，互相干扰

Drive-HWM:
  当前状态 → [慢世界模型] → 长期未来预测（粗粒度）
           → [快世界模型] → 短期行动生成（细粒度）
  优势: 各自专注，长期稳定+短期精确

方法	长期稳定性	短期精度	计算量	单摄像头
单一世界模型	⚠️ 漂移	✅ 好	中等	⚠️
Drive-HWM	✅ 稳定	✅ 精确	较低	✅ SOTA

IMS应用启示

1. 驾驶员状态预测分层架构

慢模型（5-30秒）:
  驾驶员整体状态趋势 → 疲劳曲线/分心周期
  
快模型（0.1-1秒）:
  即时行为预测 → 下一帧动作/微睡眠检测

2. Euro NCAP时间窗口对应

Euro NCAP要求	对应模型	时间窗口
F-01 一级警告	快模型	≤3s
F-02 二级警告	快模型	≤5s
F-03 持续疲劳	慢模型	30s趋势
D-02 分心检测	快模型	≤3s
长期状态预测	慢模型	10-30s
