Training self-driving cars requires learning from crashes, but real accident footage is rare. One solution: use simulations to generate imagined crash scenarios, then feed them to the driving agent for offline learning without collecting dangerous real-world data.

The other use case that we already were approached with is autonomous driving. When you want to train very, very safe autonomous driving agents, you don't necessarily have all the videos you need, especially those videos with accidents, because in real world, such things happen very rarely. You just don't have enough videos for those. But in your world model, you can simulate all imaginable accidents the way they could happen and then turn them into videos. And then these videos will be given to the driving agent. To learn policy offline.
