The companion to Autonomous Vehicles Volume 1: Using Machine Intelligence, this second volume in the two-volume set delves into intelligent techniques for designing, controlling, and managing vehicular systems based on advanced algorithms of computing, including machine learning, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT). With a focus on predictive approaches to avoid accidental damages, security threats, and theft, the book explores the utilization of these algorithms to enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of transportation systems.

In addition to their communication with other vehicles, self-driving cars connected to a 5G network will also have the capability to interact with various infrastructure elements that comprise our roads, transportation, and communication systems. This includes the ability to communicate with traffic lights, stop signs, and other road users, as well as with other vehicles and infrastructure elements. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), an aircraft without any human pilot, crew, or passengers on board, can operate under remote control by a human operator, as a remotely-piloted aircraft (RPA), or with varying degrees of autonomy. These autonomous capabilities range from autopilot assistance to fully autonomous aircraft that operate without any human intervention.

Transportation is a vital aspect of our lives, yet it can often be a source of discomfort and inconvenience. With the advent of fully autonomous driving, passengers will be liberated to pursue their own goals and activities during the time spent on the road. This transformation will turn the typically mundane and monotonous hours of driving into productive and enriching moments, enabling passengers to learn, work, engage, and relax. Similarly, UAVs have the potential to perform tasks that human-operated aircraft cannot, whether due to environmental constraints or high-risk situations.

The primary objective of this book is to showcase the requirements, designs, and applications of autonomous vehicles. It encompasses a wide range of topics, spanning from mechanical engineering to computer science engineering, both of which play crucial roles in programming, managing, generating alerts, and GPS positioning. The book also delves into the use of artificial intelligence-based prediction of paths and events, as well as other high-tech tools, to enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of transportation systems.

By exploring the latest advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, this book aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the potential benefits and challenges associated with these vehicles. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and enthusiasts alike, as it sheds.
