Advances in Driverless Cars

A self-driving car, also known as a robot car, autonomous car, or driverless car, is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and moving with little or no human input.


In the present book, fifteen typical literatures about driverless cars published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on self-driving car, levels of driving automation, autonomous vehicle, digital traces, computer vision, etc. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in driverless cars as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
