Autonomous driving systems have achieved remarkable capabilities in real-world deployment, yet ensuring safety under corner cases remains a significant challenge due to the scarcity and constrained diversity of safety-critical scenarios. Existing generation methods may either lead to irrational vehicle behaviors or be limited by fixed collision patterns, while both heavily rely on existing map datasets, restricting the diversity. To address these fundamental limitations, we introduce Any2Critical, the first framework that can encode arbitrary real-world scenarios and generate contextually relevant safety-critical scenarios with realistic driving behaviors. Specifically, Any2Critical addresses two key challenges: (1) developing comprehensive, diverse map data by successfully leveraging everyday traffic situations as the most abundant source of real-world driving contexts, and (2) proposing an RAG-based Safety-Critical Scenario Generation Strategy based on our curated NHTSA-5K database for achieving an optimal balance between scenario diversity and behavioral rationality. Through comprehensive evaluation, we demonstrate that Any2Critical consistently achieves collision rates with an average of 89.69% across diverse scenarios and autonomous driving systems, significantly outperforming current state-of-the-art generation methods.
