Abstract:

Edge computing plays an extremely important role in the environment perception and data processing of autonomous driving.Autonomous driving vehicles can expand their perception scope by obtaining environmental information from edge nodes, and can also deal with the problem of insufficient computing resources by offloading tasks to edge nodes.Compared with cloud computing, edge computing avoids high latency caused by long-distance data transmission, and provides autonomous driving vehicles with faster responses, and relieves the traffic load of the backbone network.Firstly, the edge computing-based cooperative perception and task offloading technologies for autonomous vehicles were introduced firstly, and related challenging issues were also proposed.Then the state-of-the-art of cooperative perception and task offloading technologies were analyzed and summarized.Finally, the problems need to be further studied in this field were discussed.

Key words: autonomous driving, edge computing, cooperative perception, task offloading
