Abstract Autonomous road vehicles, guided by computer vision systems, are a topic of research in numerous places in the world. Experimental vehicles have already been driven automatically on various types of roads. Some of these vehicles are briefly introduced, and one is described in more detail. Its dynamic vision system has enabled it to reach speeds of about 100 km/h on highways and 50 km/h on secondary roads. The field has advanced rapidly in recent years. Nevertheless, many problems remain to be solved before such vehicles may be introduced into ordinary road traffic. Some of the problems and approaches to their solutions are discussed. There are good prospects that in the future driving robots or highway autopilots will help to make driving easier and safer.
