& Scope</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12pt">: The digital revolution is making a huge
impact on the automotive industry, offering a more reliable driving experience through
self-driving, vehicle decision making, and connected autonomous vehicles
technologies. Connected autonomous-driving vehicles come with high
communication capabilities and various degrees of autonomy to resolve unlimited
number of transportation issues (e.g., traffic congestion, accidents and safety),
cope with the evolution of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), and offer a
new concept of service on-demand delivery. As most vehicle drivers see these
technologies unsafe and unreliable, around 1.2 million people are killed every
year due to drivers’ errors in car accidents. Therefore, these technologies are
envisioned to make these smart vehicles dominate the roads by 2030 creating substantial
economic benefits manifested in the form of safer roads, significantly reduced
congestions, improved equity and accessibility to transportation, offer a new
service delivery concept (driverless and self-driving vehicle or on-demand service
vehicle). Employing advanced technologies and tools, such as, 5G, blockchain, Artificial
Intelligence (i.e. Machine Learning (ML), Reinforcement Learning, and Deep Learning
(DL)), crowdsensing, crowd management, to name a few, in delay-sensitive
data-processing applications (e.g., autonomous vehicles) deems imperative for making
informed and instant decisions without human interference. Thus, only those who
adopt these machinery advancements can successfully compete in this changing
ecosystem.</span></p>
