Vehicle Safety and Automated Driving
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autonomous vehicle technology is continuing to advance, bringing significant benefits to humanity in terms of traffic congestion reduction, safety enhancements, stress-free travel, fuel cost savings, pollutant emission reduction, etc., and it is widely seen as the future of motorized mobility. This Topic is seeking high-quality original contributions, soliciting high-level technical papers addressing the main research challenges related to autonomous vehicles. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Sensing and control for autonomous vehicles;
- Mapping and localization for autonomous vehicles;
- Path planning for autonomous vehicles;
- Computer vision for autonomous vehicles;
- AI-based auto-driving;
- Sensor fusion in autonomous vehicles;
- 5G for autonomous vehicles;
- Risk management of autonomous vehicles;
- Automotive cybersecurity, liability, and privacy;
- Intelligent transportation systems;
- Human factors of automated driving;
- Driver behavior;
- Human–machine interface.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
