Milestones in Autonomous Driving and Intelligent Vehicles: Survey of Surveys

TLDR

Interest in autonomous driving and intelligent vehicles is rapidly growing because of their convenience, safety, and economic benefits, yet existing surveys are limited in scope and lack systematic summaries and future research directions. The authors aim to create a Survey of Surveys that covers all technologies in autonomous driving and intelligent vehicles, reviewing history, summarizing milestones, and outlining perspectives, ethics, and future research directions. They compile a comprehensive Survey of Surveys that reviews the historical development, catalogs milestones, and discusses perspectives, ethics, and future research directions. This work constitutes the first Survey of Surveys on autonomous driving and intelligent vehicles, integrating our research with two other technical surveys, and is expected to provide novel insights that bridge past and future research.

Abstract

Interest in autonomous driving (AD) and intelligent vehicles (IVs) is growing at a rapid pace due to the convenience, safety, and economic benefits. Although a number of surveys have reviewed research achievements in this field, they are still limited in specific tasks, lack of systematic summary and research directions in the future. Here we propose a Survey of Surveys (SoS) for total technologies of AD and IVs that reviews the history, summarizes the milestones, and provides the perspectives, ethics, and future research directions. To our knowledge, this article is the first SoS with milestones in AD and IVs, which constitutes our complete research work together with two other technical surveys. We anticipate that this article will bring novel and diverse insights to researchers and abecedarians, and serve as a bridge between past and future.
