Review of Hot Topics in Autonomous Vehicle Research

Owing to the complexity of autonomous driving systems, no longer could the traditional architectural integration schemes meet the increasingly diverse needs. Essential it was, therefore, to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the research hotspots in autonomous driving. Reviewed in this paper was the existing literature, and identified were the key areas for future research in autonomous vehicles: artificial intelligence, target detection, and path planning. Furthermore, explored through the knowledge graph visualization method were the emerging research hotspots within these three areas. Aimed this study was at providing valuable guidance for autonomous driving research in the future.
