DESCRIPTION:Engineers and scientists engaged in making artificially intelli
 gent systems have successfully resolved many challenging technical problem
 s and have demonstrated the practical viability of autonomous driving on t
 est tracks and carefully selected roads. These are major milestones in eng
 ineering and a clear harbinger of a transformative new era of moving goods
 \, supplies\, and people from point A to point B. Yet\, along with these a
 ccomplishments come many new challenges that are not only of a technical n
 ature\, but also of a broader social\, legal\, and even “ethical” natu
 re. Such issues become more urgent and important as collisions and acciden
 ts involving self-driving or semi-autonomous vehicles occur more often –
  injuring and even killing humans in the real world. A key challenge that 
 needs to be addressed is making sure that artificially engineered automobi
 les and humans cohabit in a harmonious\, safe\, and secure manner. For res
 earchers\, this provides the exciting opportunity to pursue important prob
 lems from a broad range of topics in distributed perception\, cognition\, 
 planning\, and control. We will present a “Human-Centered” approach to
  the development of highly automated vehicle technologies. We will also pr
 esent a brief sampling of contributions in the development of systems and 
 algorithms to perceive situational criticalities\, predict intentions of i
 ntelligent agents\, and plan/execute actions for safe & smooth maneuvers a
 nd control transitions. We will highlight major research milestones in the
  area of the autonomous vehicle and discuss issues that require deeper\, c
 ritical examination and careful resolution to assure the safe\, reliable\,
  and robust operation of these highly complex systems in the real world.\n
