Summary: 
As the core of modern society, cities play an increasingly vital role through the rapid progress of urbanization and civilization. We are dreaming of smart cities that will provide a highly efficient, comfortable, economically sound, and quality of life to everyone by integrating advanced technologies in transportation systems. The emerging intelligent transportation system (ITS) and automated vehicle technologies can revolutionize the way people commute in smart cities. With the help of an ITS and autonomous vehicles, even terrestrial or aerial, communities can decrease traffic congestion, improve mobility and logistic flows and even improve air quality. 

Additionally, during the last decade, many technological advances have been made in the field of driving automation systems. The system design challenge was to avoid obstacles and to minimize frequency and magnitude of system failures. Significant progress has been made to overcome these challenges. These progresses raise the issue of cohabitation in a complex and risky environment (composed of other autonomous entities and human being for examples), with a system that has not necessarily the same logic of recognition and action. Hence, bringing the future advances in ITS and driving automation systems closer to everyone raises the challenge of a greater integration of humans in and outside the vehicles. 

This Special Issue focuses on the most recent and relevant developments towards realizing such intelligent future transportation systems.
