Objectives and Topics
With the recent interest of all major players in the automotive 
industry, the time when intelligent vehicles begin to drive autonomously 
seems to be right around the corner. This implies a boost in the 
development on novel algorithms, techniques and methodologies with 
direct application not only to Autonomous Driving but also to advanced 
Driver Assistance Systems. This special issue will cover all these advances.

The expected topics include, but are not limited to the following:

Vision, lidar and radar perception;
Sensor calibration-Multimodal sensor fusion;
Perception in challenging conditions;
Scene understanding;
Software architectures for autonomous vehicles;
Special sensors for autonomous navigation;
Driver-vehicle interaction and assisted driving;
Navigation, motion planning and maneuvering;
Vehicle dynamics and control;
Outdoors SLAM and Visual Odometry;
Heads up Display for Vehicle to Driver Communication;
Augmented Reality in DAS-V2V and V2I communications.

Timeline:

Submission deadline: February 15, 2018
Final decision notification: September 15, 2018
