AUTONOMOUS DRIVING RESEARCH GROUP

Autonomous Driving Research Group

Welcome to the website of the Autonomous Driving Research Group led by Prof. Gyula Mester.

Our research covers full-stack autonomous driving, including the:

Self-Driving Robotic Cars

and

Flying Robotic Cars.

There are several well known research institution in the research area of autonomous driving. We will list some of the most famous research institutions:

This research group summarizes the research results on when Self-Driving Robotic Cars and Flying Robotic Cars are going to be available, and when will they be common on the roads. A European regulatory strategy is emerging to tackle the challenges posed by autonomous vehicles, focusing on liability issues

Autonomous Driving Research Group strategy wishes to elect into membership, scientists and scholars of international distinction, irrespective of nationality, gender, location or discipline. The primary criterion for membership is “sustained academic excellence in the field: autonomous driving”. h-index, for the Autonomous Driving Research Group, h-index= 50
