## Abstract (arXiv)

Autoregressive video diffusion is a promising render-time fixer for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) in autonomous-driving simulation, but deployment demands high visual quality and temporal consistency at low latency. This is especially hard for one-step causal generation, where each imperfect prediction immediately becomes context for subsequent frames. Existing approaches stabilize rollouts through staged training with multiple modules and rollout-aware regularization, yet one-step quality still falls short of what deployment requires. We introduce OneFixer, a one-step autoregressive video-diffusion fixer trained in a single task-specific adaptation stage. Our key idea is a deployment-matched shared rollout: the model's own one-step predictions serve as the causal context for flow matching, exposing training to deployment-time errors, while the same rollout receives direct pixel-space perceptual supervision to preserve fine detail. Because the predictions optimized for current-frame quality are exactly those reused as future context, fidelity and autoregressive robustness are learned jointly, without bidirectional-to-causal conversion or teacher-student distillation. OneFixer further exploits cues that driving simulation readily provides, lane geometry and dynamic-agent states, to improve geometric fidelity. On Waymo and proprietary driving scenes with 900-frame rollouts, OneFixer achieves the lowest FVD, LPIPS, and DISTS among all baselines at one step, with temporal consistency matching or exceeding multi-stage DMD pipelines. Under identical backbone and conditioning, it matches a multi-stage DMD-with-Self-Forcing pipeline in under half the GPU-hours and keeps improving beyond its plateau. In closed-loop simulation with a driving policy, OneFixer reduces the collision rate by a third relative to raw 3DGS rendering. Project page: https://onefixer-web.vercel.app/
