- Abstract: The automotive industry is seen to have witnessed an increasing level of
development in the past decades; from manufacturing manually operated vehicles
to manufacturing vehicles with high level of automation. With the recent
developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI), automotive companies now employ
high performance AI models to enable vehicles to perceive their environment and
make driving decisions with little or no influence from a human. With the hope
to deploy autonomous vehicles (AV) on a commercial scale, the acceptance of AV
by society becomes paramount and may largely depend on their degree of
transparency, trustworthiness, and compliance to regulations. The assessment of
these acceptance requirements can be facilitated through the provision of
explanations for AVs' behaviour. Explainability is therefore seen as an
important requirement for AVs. AVs should be able to explain what they have
'seen', done and might do in environments where they operate. In this paper, we
provide a comprehensive survey of the existing work in explainable autonomous
driving. First, we open by providing a motivation for explanations and
examining existing standards related to AVs. Second, we identify and categorise
the different stakeholders involved in the development, use, and regulation of
AVs and show their perceived need for explanation. Third, we provide a taxonomy
of explanations and reviewed previous work on explanation in the different AV
operations. Finally, we draw a close by pointing out pertinent challenges and
future research directions. This survey serves to provide fundamental knowledge
required of researchers who are interested in explanation in autonomous
driving.

The paper presents a multi-stage approach, starting with the development of a single AV and progressing to connected AVs.
A survey is conducted to validate the driving performance of the AV and will be utilized for a mixed traffic case study.
Results show that using deep reinforcement learning, the AV acquired driving behavior that reached human driving performance.
The adoption of sharing and caring based V2V communication within AV networks enhances their driving behavior, aids in more effective action planning, and promotes collaborative behavior amongst the AVs.

We argue that academic institutions, industry, and government agencies overseeing Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) must act proactively to ensure that AVs serve all.
AVs have considerable potential to increase the carrying capacity of roads, ameliorate the chore of driving, improve safety, provide mobility for those who cannot drive, and help the environment.
However, they also raise concerns over whether they are socially responsible, accounting for issues such as fairness, equity, and transparency.
