Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the past decade, with the continuous development of deep learning technology and its in-depth application in the field of autonomous driving, the performance of autonomous driving algorithms has been greatly improved. In the process of the development of autonomous driving technology, technologies such as vehicle-to-everything, HD maps, and modular pipeline have emerged. However, these technologies have disadvantages such as high implementation costs, high maintenance costs, and performance degeneration in complex scenarios. As algorithms develop in the direction of simplification and embodiment, end-to-end models have become the mainstream of current research, and their performance has been greatly improved compared to previous technologies, allowing people to see the dawn of large-scale applications of autonomous driving technology.

This Special Issue aims to promote the development of end-to-end autonomous driving theory and technology.
This Special Issue will accept research work on topics related to end-to-end autonomous driving, including but not limited to the following topics:

1. End-to-End Path Planning;
2. Motion Control;
3. Environment Perception;
4. Simulation;
5. Datasets;
6. Evaluation Method.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
