• Abstract: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) rely on sophisticated perception systems to interpret their surroundings, a cornerstone for safe navigation and decision-making. The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into AV perception frameworks offers an innovative approach to address challenges in dynamic environments, sensor fusion, and contextual reasoning. This paper presents a novel framework for incorporating LLMs into AV perception, enabling advanced contextual understanding, seamless sensor integration, and enhanced decision support. Experimental results demonstrate that LLMs significantly improve the accuracy and reliability of AV perception systems, paving the way for safer and more intelligent autonomous driving technologies. By expanding the scope of perception beyond traditional methods, LLMs contribute to creating a more adaptive and human-centric driving ecosystem, making autonomous vehicles more reliable and transparent in their operations. These advancements redefine the relationship between human drivers and autonomous systems, fostering trust through enhanced understanding and personalized decision-making. Furthermore, by integrating memory modules and adaptive learning mechanisms, LLMs introduce continuous improvement in AV perception, enabling vehicles to evolve with time and adapt to changing environments and user preferences.
