Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advancements in sensing hardware, communication technology, and software development have driven the expansion of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) as complex information systems that deliver a safe, reliable, and efficient driving experience. As technology continues to evolve, new trends and applications around artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud, 5G/6G connectivity, digital twins, extended and augmented reality, and cyber security are shaping the future of the innovation of autonomous transportation. However, the rapid development of new technological advancement also creates novel challenges and emphasizes existing ones. Similarly, since sophisticated cyber threats continue to target intelligent transportation systems with significant destructive effects, the cyber security of connected and autonomous vehicles has also become an agenda item for academics, practitioners, and policy makers.
This Special Issue seeks original, high-quality submissions in the domain of connected and autonomous vehicles with a particular focus on trends, applications, and security challenges. Authors from academia, governments, and industry are welcome to propose and validate the use of new technological solutions, and to contribute new research results. Submissions focused on, but not limited to, one or more of the following topics of interest to this Special Issue are encouraged:
- Communication technologies for CAVs;
- 5G/6G implications on CAVs latency and reliability;
- Advanced driver assistance systems;
- Intelligent transportation infrastructure;
- AI for real-time decision-making in CAVs;
- Cyber security and privacy in CAVs;
- Data acquisition and data sharing of CAVs;
- Data-driven traffic flow and road safety optimization;
- On-board and edge-assisted sensor data fusion;
- CAVs and infrastructure cooperation;
- Blockchain technology in CAVs;
- Cloud, edge, and fog computing in CAVs;
- Extended and augmented reality in CAVs;
- Digital twin in CAVs development and operation;
- Data governance and policies in CAVs;
- Planning, simulation, execution, and validation of experiments;
- Sensor fusion and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication.

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.
