While simulation-based approaches offer costeffective alternatives, most existing methods lack sufficient support for intuitive, interactive editing of generated scenarios. This paper presents Talk2Traffic, a novel framework that leverages multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to enable interactive and editable traffic scenario generation. Talk2Traffic allows human users to generate various traffic scenarios through multimodal inputs (text, speech, and sketches). Our approach first employs an MLLM-based interpreter to extract structured representations from these inputs. These representations are then translated into executable Scenic code using a retrieval-augmented generation mechanism to reduce hallucinations and ensure syntactic correctness. Furthermore, a human feedback guidance module enables iterative refinement and editing of scenarios through natural language instructions. Experiments demonstrate that Talk2Traffic outperforms state-of-the-art methods in generating challenging scenarios. Qualitative evaluations further illustrate the framework can handle diverse input modalities and support scenario editing.  \n1. Introduction  \nRecent years have witnessed remarkable progress in autonomous vehicles (AVs), yet safety concerns continue to pose significant challenges for their widespread deployment on public roads [17, 19, 34] . Ensuring the reliability of AVs requires extensive training and validation across diverse and complex traffic scenarios that encompass the full spectrum of real-world driving conditions [22, 28, 32, 33] . While existing large-scale autonomous driving datasets, including Waymo Open Dataset [15], nuScenes [4], and Argoverse [5], have provided valuable traffic data, the process  \n* Corresponding author: [sikai.chen@wisc.edu](sikai.chen@wisc.edu)  \nFigure 1 . Talk2Traffic enables human designers to create traffic scenarios through multimodal inputs (text descriptions, speech commands, and freehand sketches) .  \nof collecting and annotating real-world scenarios remains prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, these datasets inherently capture a limited subset of possible traffic interactions, leaving AVs potentially vulnerable to unforeseen scenarios. This gap motivates the development of more cost-effective and flexible approaches through simulation-based traffic scenario generation.  \nExisting approaches for traffic scenario generation in simulation environments have evolved along several directions [10] . Traditional rule-based methods, such as CARLA ScenarioRunner [7], enable structured scenario configuration through parameterized templates, offering repeatable test cases under predefined conditions. However, their reliance on hand-crafted rules restricts scenario diversity and requires extensive domain expertise to model complex agent interactions. Data-driven approaches, particularly those leveraging diffusion models [21, 27], have demon-  \nstrated promising results in generating diverse and realistic traffic scenarios by learning from real-world data distributions. These methods can capture complex interaction patterns that are difficult to specify through explicit rules.
