Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The techniques of autonomous driving have been experiencing profound innovation and becoming increasingly mature, which greatly accelerates the development of automobile industry. The success of the autonomous driving vehicles is mainly benefited from their high-performance perception and decision-making systems guided by a huge amount of perceptual data collected via various onboard sensors. For instances, GPS sensors collect real-time location data with exact coordinates, radar sensors detect surrounding objects and their distance to vehicles, behavior-relevant sensors monitor environment inside the car and record operation of passengers, and camera sensors work as the eyes of vehicles to perceive visual view and instruct driving behaviors. These sensory data can not only facilitate autonomous vehicles but also serve as precious data resource for smart city, smart transportation, and many other real applications.
This special issue solicits high-quality contributions that focus on the design and development of new technologies, algorithms, and tools to advance autonomous driving techniques. In particular, we encourage original and high-quality submissions related to one or more of the following topics (but not limited to):
- Autonomous driving vehicles
- Sensory data acquisition
- Sensory data processing
- Computer vision
- Motion planning and decision making
- Object detection, perception, and prediction
- Attack and defense in autonomous driving
- Safety, security, and privacy in autonomous driving
- Anomaly detection in autonomous driving
- Cooperative and coordinated autonomous driving

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
