A Survey on the Use of Container Technologies in Autonomous Driving and the Case of BeIntelli

The application of containerization technology has seen a significant increase in popularity in recent years, both in the business and scientific sectors. In particular, the ability to create portable applications that can be deployed on different machines has become a valuable asset. Autonomous driving has embraced this technology, as it offers a wide range of potential applications, including the operation of autonomous vehicles and the digitization of infrastructure for the development of Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) services. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of containerization in autonomous driving, emphasizing its application, utility, benefits, and limitations.
