A Review on Autonomous Vehicles: Progress, Methods and Challenges
Open accessAbstract
Vehicular technology has recently gained increasing popularity, and autonomous driving is a hot topic. To achieve safe and reliable intelligent transportation systems, accurate positioning technologies need to be built to factor in the different types of uncertainties such as pedestrian behavior, random objects, and types of roads and their settings. In this work, we look into the other domains and technologies required to build an autonomous vehicle and conduct a relevant literature analysis. In this work, we look into the current state of research and development in environment detection, pedestrian detection, path planning, motion control, and vehicle cybersecurity for autonomous vehicles. We aim to study the different proposed technologies and compare their approaches. For a car to become fully autonomous, these technologies need to be accurate enough to gain public trust and show immense accuracy in their approach to solving these problems. Public trust and perception of auto vehicles are also explored in this paper. By discussing the opportunities as well as the obstacles of autonomous driving technology, we aim to shed light on future possibilities.

Alternative strategies may be required in legislative frameworks that approve the use of AVs.
“Furthermore, alternative strategies may be required to be used by legislative frameworks that approve the use of AVs [12][13][14].”
From Assessing the Role of Autonomous Vehicles in Urban Areas: A Systematic Review of Literature (2024) · cites this paper as [14]
The Research Questions Answers section says new regulations or legislation can set rules for how self-driving cars deal with foreseeable crashes, and the Conclusions identify governance as important to widespread AV use. These passages support considering new legislative approaches, but do not discuss frameworks that approve AV use or say those frameworks may require alternative strategies. No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredResearch analyzing the level of impact on the driving safety of AVs by ODD is still insufficient.
“However, several studies have been published on the performance of ADS-mounted sensors, but research analyzing the level of impact on the driving safety of AVs by ODD is still insufficient [16][17][18][19].”
From Evaluation of Autonomous Driving Safety by Operational Design Domains (ODD) in Mixed Traffic (2024) · cites this paper as [16]
Section 3.1 defines ODD and relates it to an automated driving system’s operating conditions and safety responses. Section 6 discusses research gaps, but does not say that research measuring ODD’s impact on AV driving safety is insufficient. Searches for that specific gap found no passage addressing it.

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.
