Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autonomous vehicles are rapidly transforming the landscape of transportation, bringing about significant advancements in safety, efficiency, and convenience. The study of symmetry and asymmetry in these systems is crucial for understanding and optimizing vehicle dynamics, control, and navigation. Symmetry concepts have been effectively utilized to address challenges in path planning, fault detection, and the integration of sensors and actuators, while asymmetrical approaches can provide innovative solutions in complex scenarios.
For this Special Issue, we invite researchers who are active in the field of autonomous vehicles, including those focusing on control theory, vehicle dynamics, and AI algorithms, to submit their theoretical or experimental research. We are particularly interested in works that explore the applications of symmetry and asymmetry in autonomous vehicle systems.

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 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. Symmetry 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.
