  • GM disclosed EMWU, an offboard pipeline to mine rare safety-critical driving scenarios from historical fleet video without linear compute cost growth.
  • System uses a three-tier cascade: low-cost object detection and embeddings, vector retrieval to narrow candidates, deep VLM reasoning only on selected clips.
  • Bulk inference pipeline produces tens of millions of embeddings per day at under $1 per 1 million embeddings, targeting near-100% GPU utilization.
  • Zero-reindexing domain adaptation uses LoRA on the text encoder and a learned projection to improve retrieval with fewer than 100 labeled examples.
  • Approach aims to speed validation and training for autonomous systems as fleet data expands, while limiting reliance on expensive long-context MLLMs.
