Original abstract

End-to-end autonomous driving is an emerging technology and a prominent research focus in both industry and academia. By integrating perception, localization, decision-making, and control into a single model, end-to-end systems aim to streamline the traditional modular pipeline while introducing new challenges in safety validation and interpretability. Unlike existing surveys that predominantly catalog algorithms, this review proposes a novel function-oriented taxonomy by categorizing architectures into perception-integrated and planning-integrated paradigms. Beyond the architectural dimension, the analysis delves into critical safety and interpretability, emphasizing the fundamental gap between theoretical design and the reliability required for real-world deployment. Industrial applicability is examined through real-world examples of data closed-loop workflows and simulation testing, addressing practical constraints in latency and computing resources. Finally, the review addresses critical challenges, particularly long-tail data scarcity and the deficiency in human-like decision-making and outlines future directions toward achieving robust autonomy.
