Connected and autonomous vehicles are transforming many sectors of economy and everyday activities especially in the context of smart autonomous mobility, smart cities etc. There exist many unprecedented challenges that arise from Connected autonomous Vehicles Technologies. These include challenges related but not limited to connected vehicles security and connectivity, vehicular networks, sensor information fusion and communication, ADAS technology, vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-pedestrian interaction etc. There is also a need for customized communication technology for the integrated solutions of connected vehicles and smart mobility sub-systems.

The aim of the second International Workshop on connected autonomous vehicles and autonomous driving is to bring together engineers, researchers, and practitioners interested in the advances and applications of this field. Participants are invited to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in connected and autonomous vehicle systems. This workshop focuses on innovative applications, tools and frameworks, real-world data driven approaches, experimentation, advanced deployment and case studies in all technology areas related to connected and autonomous vehicles in the context of smart mobility, smart cities and other application domains. Studies involving economic, behavioral and environmental aspects are equally welcome.
