Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The fast-paced development of AI technologies provides significant opportunities for vehicle intelligence. AI-empowered assisted and autonomous driving technologies are the latest developments in transportation. These advancements can redefine the mobility, safety, and efficiency of the transportation system, offering a glimpse into a world where human error, a leading cause of traffic accidents, is significantly reduced.
Assisted driving, also known as semi-autonomous driving, leverages AI to enhance driver capabilities and vehicle performance. AI systems in these vehicles function as co-pilots, providing real-time assistance to the driver through Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADASs).
Autonomous driving, on the other hand, takes the concept of AI in vehicles to the next level. Fully autonomous vehicles, also known as self-driving vehicles, operate without the need for human intervention.
At the brink of this technological revolution, AI-empowered assisted and autonomous driving will transform our transportation networks. The marriage of AI and automotive technology is not only about convenience but about creating a safer, more efficient, and more inclusive mobility ecosystem for the future.
