Artificial intelligence in intelligent vehicles: recent advances and future directions

AI has been widely used in intelligent transportation systems, autonomous driving and automated vehicles in particular. Intelligent vehicles in the future will be a combination of Internet of things and AI, and AI is the key for intelligent vehicles. The maturer the intelligent vehicles are, the more advanced the AI techniques will be applied in intelligent vehicles. In this paper, we perform a survey on the progress of AI applications in automated vehicles, including perception, autonomous driving, and test, and then discuss challenges of intelligent vehicles and recent advances in AI and prospective applications in the future transportation ecosystem, intelligent vehicles in particular.
