In the 22nd November 2019 a Workshop was held in
the Automotive Proving Ground, Zalaegerszeg, Hungary.
The title of Workshop was "Self-Driving Vehicles. Sen-
sors, Algorithms, Intelligent Materials." The Workshop
collected experts from the University of Pannonia, Veszprém,
and the Széchenyi István University, Győr. The workshop
was supported by EFOP-3.6.2-16-2017-00002.

The lectures were mostly presented by talented gradu-
ate and postgraduate students, who represent future’s pro-
fessionals. They will be graduated from the two univer-
sities and hopefully will seek career in the automotive
industry of Hungary, especially, in the industry of slef-
driving vehicles. This area of technology is developing
fast and strongly supported by governments and various
players of the economy due to its potential to drive the
development of state-of-the-art technologies. The work-
shop showed that the research groups working in these
two universities can contribute to this development with
novel results.

This issue of the Hungarian Journal of Industry and
Chemistry contains the contributions of the lectures.
