Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the recent advances in artificial intelligence technology, autonomous driving vehicles (a.k.a. autonomous vehicles) are becoming more popular and having a greater impact on our everyday life. Modern autonomous vehicles are equipped with various sensors, such as cameras, LiDAR, and ultrasonic sensors, to perceive environmental data and that use machine learning techniques to detect surrounding objects, predict trajectory, aware driving situation, decide appropriate actions, and control vehicle actuators based on these perceived data. However, even the latest autonomous vehicles are still experiencing difficulties in interpretation and decision when facing unpredictable situations and unknown environments.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances and challenges in the application of machine learning technology in autonomous driving, including in driving data preparation, object detection, trajectory prediction, driving situation awareness, vehicle localization, driving action planning, and vehicle control. This would be a good opportunity to gather researchers in developing machine learning models and algorithms for autonomous driving to discuss and share original research works and practical experiences.

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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
