Abstract

In recent years, road vehicle automation has become an important and popular topic for research and development in both academic and industrial spheres. New developments have received extensive coverage in the popular press, and it may be said that the topic has captured the public imagination. Indeed, the topic has generated interest across a wide range of academic, industry and governmental communities, well beyond vehicle engineering; these include computer science, transportation, urban planning, legal, social science and psychology. While this follows a similar surge of interest – and subsequent hiatus – of Automated Highway Systems in the 1990s, the current level of interest is substantially greater, and current expectations are high. It is common to frame the new technologies under the banner of ‘self-driving cars’ – robotic systems potentially taking over the entire role of the human driver, a capability that does not fully exist at present. However, this single vision leads one to ignore the existing range of automated systems that are both feasible and useful. Recent developments are underpinned by substantial and long-term trends in ‘computerisation’ of the automobile, with developments in sensors, actuators and control technologies to spur the new developments in both industry and academia. In this paper, we review the evolution of the intelligent vehicle and the supporting technologies with a focus on the progress and key challenges for vehicle system dynamics. A…

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • It seems highly likely that autonomous vehicles will eventually prove much safer on both sealed rural roads and city streets than vehicles driven by human beings.

  • Driverless vehicles in communication with each other will be able to safely reduce the distance between vehicles because all members of the resulting convoy will be able to brake or accelerate simultaneously as required.

    “Driverless vehicles in communication with each other will be able to safely reduce the distance between vehicles because all members of the resulting 'convoy' will be able to brake or accelerate simultaneously as required (Shladover et al., 2012; Fagnant and Kockelman, 2015a, p. 170; Gordon and Lidberg, 2015, p. 970).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
