Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced vehicle technologies hold the promise not only to change the way we drive but also to save lives. The continuing evolution of automotive technology aims to deliver even greater safety benefits than earlier innovations. One day, automated driving systems may be able to handle the entire driving task when we choose not to or are unable to do so. These advancements are transforming mobility, improving traffic efficiency, and reducing human error-related crashes, marking a significant step toward safer, smarter, and more efficient transportation.
This Special Issue on "Automated Driving Systems: Latest Advances and Prospects" aims to bring together cutting-edge research on the latest developments, emerging trends, and future prospects in automated driving. We encourage researchers from academia and industry to explore novel methodologies and contribute their latest findings, addressing the challenges and opportunities in the deployment of fully automated driving systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Perception and sensing technologies in automated driving systems;
- Advanced AI and machine learning applications for decision-making in autonomous vehicles;
- Human–machine interaction and shared control in automated driving;
- Challenges in deploying automated driving systems;
- Vehicle performance guidance for automated vehicles;
- Autonomous vehicles in smart cities and the role of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs);
- Adaptive and predictive navigation in complex traffic environments.

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.
