Special Issue Information
Dear Esteemed Colleagues,
As our world continues to embrace the digital age, autonomous vehicles are progressively becoming integral components of various industries such as transportation, agriculture, and the development of smart cities. Their role in decision-making processes is not only transformative but also pivotal. A key driver propelling this evolution is the omnipresence of artificial intelligence (AI), with a particular emphasis on deep-learning-based AI systems, a field witnessing rapid advancements and growing adoption in optimizing autonomous vehicle navigation.
It is against this backdrop that we announce a Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Autonomous Vehicle Solutions" in the journal Computers. We cordially invite scholars, researchers, and industry professionals from diverse disciplines to contribute their insights, enhancing our collective understanding of the current landscape of deep-learning-based AI systems for autonomous vehicles.
This Special Issue aspires to foster collaborative discussions and knowledge exchange, shedding light on a myriad of topics related to the development and application of autonomous vehicles. Your invaluable contributions could address, but are certainly not limited to, the most recent advancements in the field, pioneering research, and the exploration of state and international initiatives related to autonomous vehicle technology. A special emphasis will be placed on ethical considerations, a critical aspect of autonomous vehicle development and implementation.
By bringing together a wealth of expertise and diverse perspectives, we aim to push the boundaries of existing knowledge and stimulate innovative approaches towards autonomous vehicle solutions.
We look forward to your contributions and to embarking on this intellectual journey together.
