Future Directions of Intelligent Vehicles: Potentials, Possibilities, and Perspectives

This is the brief report of the first IEEE Distributed/Decentralized Hybrid Workshop on Future Directions of Intelligent Vehicles (IEEE DHW-FDIV), part of the IEEE Distributed/Decentralized Hybrid Symposia on Intelligent Vehicles (IEEE DHS-IV) organized by the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles (TIV). This DHW was conducted through two events on January 12 and February 7, 2022 with 23 and 12 participants from Asia, Europe, and North America, respectively. Various issues related to the current state of IEEE TIV and potential topics for future research and development of intelligent vehicles are addressed. Based on the suggestion of Professor Fei-Yue Wang, the new Editor-in-Chief of TIV, the first report of DHW-FDIV focuses on meta-vehicles and metaverses for smart mobility and intelligent transportation.
