The IEEE International Symposium on Autonomous Vehicle Software (AVS 2024) creates a unique venue for the researchers, engineers, industry players and policy makers to present the latest advancements and innovations in the theoretical research, open source projects, software applications and regulation work in the autonomous vehicle software. AVS 2024 features keynote ad- dresses by eminent scientists from both academia and industry. All research papers will be peer reviewed on the basis of a full length manuscript and acceptance will be based on quality, originality and relevance. IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS) will publish the proceedings. Accepted papers will also be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore and to other abstracting and indexing partners such as the Ei Compendex. Selected papers of top quality will be published in a special section of IEEE Transactions on Reliability instead of the conference proceedings. This will speed up the journal publication of these papers.
