## Abstract (arXiv)

By predicting future states, latent world models provide rich self-supervision for end-to-end driving, but often inherit dense features from pretrained visual encoders as their world-state interface. This creates a mismatch: visual pretraining produces information-rich, spatially dense features, but their adaptation for motion-conditioned world modeling and planning is deferred to downstream training. The dense grid also makes future prediction more computationally expensive as visual resolution increases. We therefore argue that video pretraining should directly learn state representations suited to downstream world modeling and planning, rather than relying on downstream training to adapt inherited visual features. We propose ***MORE***, a V-JEPA framework that learns **M**otion-**O**riented **RE**gisters during video pretraining as a shared state interface for driving world models and planning. MORE injects temporally aligned ego motion into a small set of registers and uses them as the sole context for masked patch prediction, channeling dense patch-level supervision through a compact state bottleneck. A complementary blockwise register-masking objective further shapes predictive structure in the register space. During downstream training, the same register space defines the future states predicted by the world model and provides shared scene memory for trajectory generation and scoring. On NAVSIM-v2, MORE outperforms the state of the art by 1.6 in EPDMS, while achieving superior efficiency with only 1/10 the inference latency of DriveLaW. These results support learning the state interface for world modeling and planning directly during video pretraining.
