Autonomous vehicle navigation requires finely calibrated environmental awareness, resilient onboard deliberation, and continual, near-instantaneous adaptation to evolving roadway behaviours. Current deep learning frameworks achieve strong scores on perception benchmarks, yet their propensity to overlook nonlinear spatial–temporal couplings—coupled with mandated low-latency constraints—remains a fundamental safety liability in actual driving contexts. To mitigate this gap, the present work introduces a hybrid architecture that overlays a Quantum Simplicial Classical Attention Convolutional Network (QSCACN2Net) with a Brown Bear Optimization Algorithm (BBOA), thereby achieving dual improvements in navigational efficacy and reliability. The QSCACN2Net component leverages quantum-classical hybrid propagation and simplicial attention blocks to isolate multidimensional environmental couplings. By combining sub-millisecond feature resolution with coherent ingestion of panoramic vehicular and atmospheric context, the architecture assimilates relevant information across disparate magnitudes of environmental structure. Simultaneously, the BBOA mimics seasonal hibernation metabolic patterns to design hyperparameter search; this biologically inspired mechanism secures accelerated convergence and pronounced robustness with minimal expansion of the hyperparameter search space. Validate the proposed architecture on the benchmarking KITTI dataset, reporting statistically relevant improvements in absolute error, quantifiable reductions in mean pixel perturbation measurements, and tightened end-to-end latency regimes that exceed existing state-of-the-art solutions. Combinatorial analysis of the experimental results substantiates scalable deployment, illustrating that the architecture satisfies the stringent maintainability, safety, and resource operability criteria demanded by future production-grade autonomous driving frameworks.
