IJCAI 2021 AI4AD Workshop



Artificial Intelligence for Autonomous Driving


First Edition

August 20, 2021 | Montreal, Canada (Virtual)

Welcome to AI4AD

Autonomous driving provides a rich source of high-impact research problems for the broad artificial intelligence community across different fields such as computer vision, machine learning, robotics, language and speech, civil engineering, human-computer interaction, environmental science, and neuroscience. Further, full self-driving capability (“Level 5”) is far from solved and extremely complex, beyond the capability of any one institution or company, necessitating larger-scale communication and collaboration between researchers in different fields. The goal of this workshop is to embrace interdisciplinary knowledge in different fields of AI, from both academia and industry, to discuss how different fields can contribute to self-driving technology altogether and increase its social impact.
