As the automotive industry continues its rapid evolution toward autonomy, this document describes a prototypical Autonomous Driving Architecture (ADA) along with a promising application ecosystem. It comprehensively explores fundamental components within ADA, ranging from hardware and software stack layers to regulatory and ethical considerations. Trends and challenges: The document sets the stage by detailing prevailing trends shaping autonomous driving. It navigates challenges encountered in transformation, encompassing safety imperatives, regulatory complexities, cybersecurity concerns, and societal readiness. ADA: A focal point of the discussion, ADA delineates the hierarchical layers comprising hardware, software stack layers, infrastructure, services, and application interfaces. By proscribing their interplay, ADA's modular and scalable framework will promote the evolution of autonomous driving systems. Applications: Venturing into practical uses, the document explores diverse applications fostered by ADA's ecosystem, from immersive in-vehicle experiences to revolutionizing mobility. Innovative technologies: At the forefront of innovation, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication are considered as enablers for autonomous driving and smart cars. Regulatory and ethical considerations: The document navigates the regulatory terrain governing autonomous vehicles, such as safety standards, certification protocols, and legal frameworks. In essence, this document offers a holistic view of ADA and its ecosystem, illuminating its vast potential and the challenges ahead in realizing the vision of autonomous mobility.

Working Group Details
Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
