With the evolution of large foundation models (LFMs), data-driven autonomous driving has made significant strides. However, existing paradigms still face severe challenges in complex interaction and long-tail scenarios due to distribution shift and causal confusion. These limitations often result in a lack of human-level decision-making flexibility and safety in extreme conditions. To overcome this limitation, this paper proposes a Human-in-the-Loop Online Behavior Cloning frame work (HiL-OBC) for autonomous driving, which aims to deeply integrate the cross-modal perceptual capabilities of LFMs with the high-level driving intelligence of human experts. Specifically, HiL-OBC deployment is executed through three critical phases: policy initialization with human intervention, latent behavioral modeling with Bayesian policy adaptation, and online deploy ment and updates. Furthermore, we design a Multi-modal Online Behavior Cloning (MOBC) model, which optimizes the base driving policy online through a lightweight network architecture, a takeover trigger mechanism, and a multi-variant loss function, thereby enhancing the system's decision-making robustness in complex environments. We evaluated the HiL-OBC on the LangAuto-Human CARLA benchmark. Experimental results demonstrate that the driving policies optimized via the human-in-the-loop mechanism achieve substantial performance gains: the DS of StructNav, LFG, and LMDrive increased by 47.25%, 31.59%, and 32.12%, respectively, with a simultaneous of various experimental settings and key components highlights the advantages of human-in-the-loop learning in improving decision-making robustness and overall driving performance.
