Holistic perception for autonomous agents requires reliably segmenting and associating scene elements across time and camera views, including objects outside a fixed semantic taxonomy. Existing open-set panoptic benchmarks focus on individual images or views, while panoramic tracking benchmarks assume closed-set taxonomies. Consequently, these benchmarks do not evaluate whether unknown objects can be consistently segmented and tracked across synchronized multi-camera sequences. We introduce WayPOP, a panoramic open-set panoptic tracking benchmark built on real Waymo PVPS sequences augmented with diverse out-of-taxonomy 3D assets from Objaverse. Inserted objects are placed at fixed locations in the 3D scene and rendered using calibrated vehicle-mounted cameras as the ego vehicle and surrounding traffic move, providing temporally and cross-view consistent panoptic annotations and auxiliary LiDAR range observations. WayPOP contains approximately 670 curated assets instantiated as 980 unique unknown-object tracks, yielding 53,452 unknown-object mask annotations across 21,300 camera images. Our evaluation protocol defines a hierarchy of tasks from view-independent open-set panoptic segmentation to full panoramic open-set panoptic tracking, using known/unknown PQ and (w)STQ metrics. We benchmark representative open-set and open-vocabulary segmentation methods with temporal and cross-camera association. Our results reveal substantial limitations of current methods in truly open-set scenarios, highlighting robust unknown-object localization and identity association across time and views as major open challenges.
