Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A key innovation driver for the automotive industry is the need to satisfy customer demand for vehicles with improved performance, while at the same time meeting constraints and requirements set by regulatory bodies that are aimed at achieving green and safe mobility integrated into smart environments (smart roads, smart cities, etc.).
The goal of this Special Issue is to explore current trends in automotive engineering and the related scientific and technological challenges and solutions. By collecting feature reviews by leading scientists and industrial experts, this Special Issue will provide the interested audience with a comprehensive view on the maturity level of the state-of-the-art methods and technologies that will pave the way for the next-generation of road vehicles.
