<b>Title:</b> Enhancing Real-Time Decision-Making in Autonomous Vehicles: A Comparative Study of Mamba and Cobra Architectures within the RAG-Driver Framework</div>

<b>Abstract:</b> This proposal examines the integration of the Mamba architecture into the RAG-Driver model to enhance computational efficiency in autonomous driving systems. By incorporating Cobra as an efficient Vision Language Model (VLM), the adaptation
of Mamba within the RAG-Driver framework aims to achieve an improvement in processing speed and cost-effectiveness, crucial for the real-time requirements of autonomous vehicle operations.</div>
