This chapter first reviewed recent advancements in cooperative driving at intersections and on-ramps and comprehensively introduced three cooperative driving strategies at intersections, namely, the safety driving pattern-based strategy, the reservation-based strategy and the trajectory optimization-based strategy, as well as two cooperative driving strategies at on -ramps, namely, the virtual vehicle mapping strategy and the lot-based strategy. Then, a novel concept, i.e., the lane change-free road transportation system, was newly proposed for the future world. This future road transportation system consists of a CI-A, a CMA, a CDA and a CACD strategy, and vehicles that move in such a road system are able to reach their destinations without making any on-road lane changes. It is expected that, through this system with no lane changes, the CAV technology could be greatly simplified and driving safety, as well as efficiency, could be improved.
