Milestones in Autonomous Driving and Intelligent Vehicles: Survey of Surveys
This is an incremental contribution that provides a comprehensive summary for researchers and newcomers in the field of autonomous driving and intelligent vehicles.
This paper tackles the lack of systematic overviews in autonomous driving and intelligent vehicles by proposing a Survey of Surveys that reviews history, summarizes milestones, and provides future directions, aiming to offer novel insights and serve as a bridge between past and future research.
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.
