All submissions will be rigorously peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis of the overall quality of their technical contribution, taking into account criteria such as originality, significance, soundness, reproducibility, clarity, relevance to the conference, quality of presentation, as well as understanding and appropriate referencing of the state of the art. All workshop papers (full papers – both regular and invited) will appear in conference proceedings and be submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases

== Areas of Interest ==

We welcome the submission of technical papers describing significant and original research on all aspects of the theory and practice of autonomous and connected vehicles. The workshop along with the special session will serve as a forum to exchange ideas, present new results, and provide future visions on these topics: 

* Technology concerning the breadth and depth of Connected and Autonomous vehicles (CAVs) (Control, localization, safe navigation, ADAS)
* Collaborative, cooperative control and planning of CAVs
* Communication protocols and technologies for CAVs
* Human factors and human machine interfaces for CAVs
* CAV Enabled Smart Cities and infrastructure Applications, ethical and technical requirements, security and privacy aspects
* 5G Technologies and Applications for CV and AVs
* Vehicle to Everything (V2X) – Infrastructure (I), Pedestrian (P), Network (N), and Vehicle (V)
* Sensor calibration, information processing and fusion techniques for autonomous vehicles
* SIL/HIL//VIL platforms for both connected and autonomous vehicles.
* Simulations and Experimental Demonstrations in Testbeds – CAVs.
