Autonomous Vehicles: Enabling Technologies, Applications, Societal Impacts, and Regulations, Second Edition offers a holistic and comprehensive reference covering all critical aspects of autonomous driving. This edition expands on the first by integrating the latest advances in enabling technologies and diverse applications, as well as addressing testing, certification, cybersecurity, and regulatory frameworks.

The content is organized into six parts covering technology enablers such as hardware, AI, IoT, and communications; business and market analysis; ethics, risks, cybersecurity, and user acceptance; regulations, policies, and standards; applications and validation testing; and the future of autonomous driving with a focus on sustainable urban transport.

This reference is an essential resource for students in informatics, electrical and computer engineering, transportation engineering, and intelligent transport systems, as well as senior research engineers, urban planners, and government transport authorities. It supports academic study and professional practice by bridging foundational knowledge with current research and practical applications in autonomous vehicle technology and policy.
