The main topics of this book include advanced control, cognitive data processing, high performance computing, functional safety, and comprehensive validation. These topics are seen as technological bricks to drive forward automated driving.
The current state of the art of automated vehicle research, development and innovation is given. The book also addresses industry-driven roadmaps for major new technology advances as well as collaborative European initiatives supporting the evolvement of automated driving. Various examples highlight the state of development of automated driving as well as the way forward.
The book will be of interest to academics and researchers within engineering, graduate students, automotive engineers at OEMs and suppliers, ICT and software engineers, managers, and other decision-makers.

Discuss the emerging topic of automated driving from the viewpoint of academia and from industrial perspective Provides a seamless coverage of all relevant systems for automated driving, their integration and their reliability assurance Current state-of-the art will be extensively discussed and both progressive and conservative short-/mid-/long-term road maps will be considered
