This Congress section welcomes submissions of papers addressing current issues of electronics, communications and information technology in a particular area of automotive engineering. They encompass the full scope of HW&SW technologies used in vehicles, including control, computation and communication, as well as the algorithms, databases, models and human interfaces. The submitted papers should point out the impacts that HW&SW technologies can have on energy saving, pollution, safety and comfort of the vehicle. Special interest is given to works that treat the issue of autonomous vehicles and implementing intelligent systems on board the car.

CAR 2017 offers an opportunity to present your latest technical developments, so papers are invited on (but not limited to) any of the congress themes. Any other paper presented on a topic not quoted above but having scientific or technical interest will be taken into consideration.
