This book offers a systematic overview of the cutting-edge technological theories in the field of autonomous driving. Starting with the foundational knowledge of autonomous driving, it delves deeply into discussions on software and hardware platforms, perception, mapping, localization, planning decision-making, control, simulation, and safety aspects. It also explores the applications of automated parking systems and vehicle-to-vehicle communication technologies. The book consists of 15 chapters: Chapter 1 provides an overview of autonomous driving systems; Chapter 2 briefly introduces the fundamental theories of autonomous driving, such as computer vision and deep learning; Chapters 3 and 4 analyze the software and hardware platforms of autonomous driving, including sensors, computing platforms, software architectures, and operating systems; Chapters 5 to 9 respectively introduce the perception, mapping, localization, planning, and control modules of autonomous driving; Chapter 10 focuses on the simulation module of autonomous driving; Chapter 11 discusses the safety model of autonomous driving; Chapter 12 covers a specific case of autonomous driving - automated parking systems; Chapter 13 introduces vehicle-to-vehicle communication technologies; Chapters 14 and 15 respectively introduce two recent technological hotspots related to autonomous driving.
