Abstract

At present, the automobile industry is undergoing a new round of technological revolution, and autonomous driving technology is also experiencing a period of rapid development, with very active research and technology iteration. Autonomous driving can prevent accidents that occur due to human errors such as inattentiveness and driver fatigue, thereby enhancing road safety. Additionally, autonomous technology helps alleviate traffic congestion and optimize flow by utilizing coordinated driving strategies, such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (V2I), enabling platooning, intelligent rerouting, and other advanced driving techniques. The autonomous driving system can control the vehicle according to the optimal driving strategy, can drive the vehicle in a smoother way, optimize fuel consumption or power use, thereby reducing operating costs and improving travel experience, and has a wide range of application potential and potential social value. This paper summarizes the current research status and development trend of autonomous driving technology, summarizes the current research status of autonomous driving technology from the aspects of environmental perception, machine learning, control execution, etc., while also projecting future directions for the field. Advancements in this technology have the potential to revolutionize transportation, offering significant convenience and transforming daily life. Moreover, it can promote the development of major industries, increase national GDP, affect urban planning and layout, and even improve our living environment and benefit ecological construction.

Keywords
