Description
This special session invites novel research in the field of autonomous driving, emphasizing the transformative role of computer vision, trajectory prediction, NLP+vision fusion, foundation models, and innovative perception applications. As the automotive industry accelerates towards a future of self-driving vehicles, the integration of advanced AI technologies becomes paramount in addressing the complex challenges of navigation, safety, and human-machine interaction. This session aims to showcase cutting-edge developments that push the boundaries of what's possible in autonomous driving, fostering a multidisciplinary dialogue among researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders. We encourage submissions that explore novel methodologies, algorithms, and systems that enhance the perception, decision-making, and situational awareness of autonomous vehicles. Join us in steering the conversation on how AI-driven technologies can reshape the future of transportation, making it safer, more efficient, and universally accessible.
