Introduction: The Automated Road Transportation Symposium 2022

In 2022, the Automated Road Transportation Symposium returned to a traditional face-to-face meeting format after two years of virtual meetings caused by the global pandemic. The plenary presentations and breakout discussions continued to provide the meeting participants with the most up-to-date and authoritative information about the current international state of development and deployment of road vehicle automation systems, retaining its standing as the essential global meeting for industry, government and research practitioners in the field.
