Abstract In this chapter, autonomous intelligent vehicles considered as mobile robot platforms are introduced. In general, an intelligent vehicle consists of four fundamental technologies: environment perception and modeling, vehicle localization and map building, path planning and decision-making, and motion control. On the one hand, these platforms, combining vehicles, drivers and lanes together, are designed to improve road safety and reduce traffic congestion and accidents in intelligent transportation systems. On the other hand, the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) had held the Grand Challenges and the Urban Challenges, which remarkably promoted the technologies of entirely autonomous intelligent vehicles and their military applications around the world.
