Abstract
Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) can reduce human errors in traffic
accidents, increase road efficiency, and execute various tasks ranging from
delivery to smart city surveillance. Reaping these benefits requires CAVs to
autonomously navigate to target destinations. To this end, each CAV's
navigation controller must leverage the information collected by sensors and
wireless systems for decision-making on longitudinal and lateral movements.
However, enabling autonomous navigation for CAVs requires a convergent
integration of communication, control, and learning systems. The goal of this
article is to explicitly expose the challenges related to this convergence and
propose solutions to address them in two major use cases: Uncoordinated and
coordinated CAVs. In particular, challenges related to the navigation of
uncoordinated CAVs include stable path tracking, robust control against
cyber-physical attacks, and adaptive navigation controller design. Meanwhile,
when multiple CAVs coordinate their movements during navigation, fundamental
problems such as stable formation, fast collaborative learning, and distributed
intrusion detection are analyzed. For both cases, solutions using the
convergence of communication theory, control theory, and machine learning are
proposed to enable effective and secure CAV navigation. Preliminary simulation
results are provided to show the merits of proposed solutions.
