• Abstract: This letter presents PrismAD, a decoupled end-to-end autonomous driving framework based on a Semantic Mixture-of-Planners. Existing planners usually aggregate heterogeneous scene tokens into a coupled representation space, forcing a single planning branch to jointly model agent interaction, road geometry, and driving intention. Such coupling may weaken factor-specific reasoning and obscure the contribution of different planning cues. To address this limitation, PrismAD partitions scene tokens into interaction, geometry, and intent groups, and assigns them to independent planning experts with the same architecture but separate parameters. Each expert learns a specialized motion-planning representation, while a semantics-aware router adaptively aggregates expert predictions with separate routing weights for motion prediction and ego planning. Sparse top-$K$ activation with noisy gating is further introduced to improve routing robustness and reduce unnecessary expert computation. Extensive experiments on the nuScenes open-loop dataset and NeuroNCAP closed-loop benchmark demonstrate that PrismAD exhibits competitive performance. Our code will be released soon.
