We have seen an amazing progress in autonomous driving technologies in the last decade, and our society is going to embrace the spectacular changes in transportation, logistics, and mobility services. Explainable AI has been attracting the strong attention to play a key role for better understanding and building trust of autonomous driving. The IV 2021 Workshop on Explainable AI on Autonomous Driving aims to solicit paper submissions from academia and industry on the broad spectrum of ideas, issues/solutions, and applications for explainable AI for autonomous driving. The workshop will be organized as a half-day meeting.

TOPICS

We invite papers including but not limiting to explainable AI on perception, machine learning, simulation, vehicle control, human-vehicle interaction, safety, and trust for autonomous driving.
