Electric Vehicle Autonomous Technologies is a dynamic and forward-looking course that covers the transformative realm of autonomous electric vehicles (AEVs). In an era where transportation is on the brink of a revolution, this course provides a setting to analyze the fusion of electric propulsion and autonomous driving. It explores the convergence of cutting-edge technologies that are reshaping the automotive landscape, offering learners a journey into the future of mobility.

In the first part of this course, we embark on an exploration of the foundations of AEVs. We take a deep dive into the history and evolution of autonomous electric vehicles, tracing their roots from early experiments to the present day. Learners will gain an appreciation of the importance of AEVs in reducing emissions, enhancing safety, and revolutionizing transportation in urban environments. The second segment of the course immerses learners in the heart of AEV technology—the sensor systems, perception algorithms, and decision-making processes that enable vehicles to navigate autonomously. In the final part of the course, we confront the critical aspects of safety and the challenges that lie ahead for AEVs. Safety is paramount in autonomous driving, as we explore the regulatory frameworks and measures in place to ensure the well-being of passengers and pedestrians alike. This course is designed for electric vehicle (EV) enthusiasts interested in the future of electric and autonomous vehicles. It is recommended to complete the basic course on electric vehicle technology before taking this course.
