e next generation of autonomous vehicles will provide major improvements in trac ow, fuel
eciency, and vehicle safety. Several challenges currently prevent the deployment of autonomous
vehicles, one aspect of which is robust and adaptable vehicle control. Designing a controller
for autonomous vehicles capable of providing adequate performance in all driving scenarios is
challenging due to the highly complex environment and inability to test the system in the wide
variety of scenarios which it may encounter after deployment. However, deep learning methods
have shown great promise in not only providing excellent performance for complex and non-
linear control problems, but also in generalizing previously learned rules to new scenarios. For
these reasons, the use of deep neural networks for vehicle control has gained signicant interest.
In this book, we introduce relevant deep learning techniques, discuss recent algorithms
applied to autonomous vehicle control, identify strengths and limitations of available methods,
discuss research challenges in the eld, and provide insights into the future trends in this rapidly
evolving eld.
