Challenges for Automated Cooperative Driving: The AutoNet2030 Approach

Automated driving is expected to significantly contribute to future safe and efficient mobility. Whereas classical automated approaches solely consider the host vehicle, AutoNet2030 aims to investigate a cooperative approach where communication is used to build decentralized control systems, facilitate cooperative traffic flow optimization, and enhance perception. This chapter introduces the concepts and methodology of AutoNet2030 in order to contribute to a cost-optimized and widely deployable automated driving technology.
