In particular, autonomous driving and, more generally, automated driving is receiving a growing attention with significantly increasing resources being deployed to enable safe, reliable, and efficient automated mobility in complex uncontrolled real-world environments and for various applications ranging from automated transportation, and farming to public safety and environmental exploration. Signal processing is a critical component of automated driving. Some of the needed enabling technologies include affordable sensing platforms that can acquire useful data under varying environmental conditions, reliable simultaneous localization and mapping, machine learning that can effectively handle varying real-world conditions and unforeseen events, “machine-learning friendly” signal processing to enable more effective classification and decision making, hardware and software co-design for efficient real-time performance, resilient and robust platforms that can withstand adversarial attacks and failures, and end-to-end system integration of sensing, signal processing, machine learning, and controls. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Default><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The aim of this special issue is to provide researchers and professionals with high-quality tutorial-style papers addressing the latest advances in the design, development, and deployment of signal processing technologies and systems integrating signal processing components for autonomous and automated driving. A special emphasis will also be devoted to not only cover the current state-of-the-art, but also new and emerging trends. Prospective authors are invited to submit tutorial-style papers on topics related to autonomous and automated driving including but not limited to the following: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Default><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>• Current and emerging signal processing technologies for automated driving <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Default><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>• Sensing, perception, and vision <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Default><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>• Machine learning, predictive analytics, and decision-making under uncertainty <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Default><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>• Signal processing for enhanced safety, robustness, and fault-tolerance <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Default><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>• Validation, verification, and performance assessment methodologies of sensing and signal processing/computer vision algorithms for autonomous driving <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Default><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>• Cyber-security and privacy-preserving signal processing technologies <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Default><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>• Applications to automated mobility, pick-up and delivery systems, agriculture, energy efficiency and sustainability, and other domains. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Default><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=Default><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Prospective authors should submit white papers at <a href="https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/spmag-ieee">https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/spmag-ieee</a> according to the timetable below.
