New Advances of Intelligent Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

We are now facing the most exciting and important innovations in history regarding both automotive technology and ICT, with the development of intelligent vehicles commonly referred to as autonomous or self-driving vehicles. Thanks to technological advances in hardware/software technologies, the promise of unmanned self-driving vehicles for safer fully automated driving systems is closer to becoming a reality. ICT has the capability to provide systems for Connected, Cooperative, and Autonomous Driving. In this context, we need to handle the massive amount of data generated by connected intelligent vehicles. Emerging systems present several issues, such as those related to the E/E architecture of a vehicle, ensuring and validating safety, testing, passenger comfort, human factors, and cyber security aspects of intelligent vehicles. Therefore, great efforts are required from the research community to solve these problems.

In this Special Issue, we are particularly interested in describing, defining, and quantifying the potential problems of intelligent vehicles and in looking at solutions, prototypes, and demonstrators which address the different aspects of the intelligent vehicles and their applications;

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• E/E architectures of Intelligent Vehicles
• Vehicle dynamics and control of Intelligent Vehicles
• Vehicle hardware/software systems for Connected, Cooperative, and Autonomous Driving
• Machine Learning approaches for Intelligent Vehicles
• Artificial intelligence for Intelligent Vehicles
• Ensuring and Validating Safety for Intelligent Vehicles
• Cyber security in intelligent vehicles
• Vehicle Cloud
• Data-Driven Intelligent Vehicle Applications
• Neural Network models of Vehicles
• On-board diagnostics of Intelligent Vehicles
• Testing of Autonomous Cars
• Passenger Comfort of Autonomous driving
• Human Factors
• OEDR (object and event detection and response) and/or all-back system for highly (fully) automated vehicles

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
