Automated driving developments are experiencing a boom. They are not only driven by advances in technology but also have a strong link with the Smart Cities agenda, where automated vehicles, the shared economy and electro-mobility will play an essential role. This section provides a review of automated vehicle literature from research projects completed in recent years.
