We provide several simple, interpretable rule-based baselines for the 2025 Waymo Scenario Generation Challenge. The challenge addresses the task of generating realistic simulation scenarios, which are crucial for developing autonomous vehicles. Our best baseline, SHRED, achieves a high score of 0.624, notably close to the theoretical upper bound of 0.692, and ranking third on the leaderboard. Our results demonstrate the strong performance of simple methods and help contextualize more complex approaches.
