Can Webcam Gaze Constrain Mesa-Objectives in Driving Models? An Instrument Precision Analysis
Current hazard detection systems in autonomous driving may develop mesa objectives, learned internal goals that achieve high training performance through spurious correlations rather than genuine hazard recognition. We investigate whether human gaze patterns, captured via webcam-based eye tracking (WebGazer.js), can serve as privileged information to constrain mesa-objective formation. We collected 137,663 frame-level gaze samples synchronized with hazard annotations across 388 real dashcam clip
