Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vehicles are becoming increasingly automated by taking on more and more tasks under improving intelligent control systems equipped with enhanced sensor technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques from the prior automation level to the next automation level—targeting the autonomy of level 5 with no steering wheel, no pedals, no breaks, and even no windshield. Sensors are the main components of autonomous vehicles (AVs), i.e., self-driving vehicles (SDVs), which are paving the way for autonomous driving by providing AVs with the ability to perceive the environment through continuous vehicle–environmental interaction. Vehicle sensors, with multiple sensor data fusions, feed the main phases of self-driving, i.e., vehicle learning and decision-making, which are instilled with advanced artificial intelligence (AI). No efficient self-driving is possible without an accurate perception of the environment, leading to poor decision-making in AVs. In this Special Issue, we are keen to process the most recent sensor technologies, either already developed or being developed, for AVs to establish the most experienced (self-) driver. More explicitly, we would like to analyze the role of sensors in increasing the efficacy of vehicles’ autonomous decision-making. In this direction, we would like to invite the academic and industrial research communities to submit original research as well as review articles to this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
