Abstract: The present study aims to understand the direction that research on autonomous vehicles (AVs) has taken in the academy, in order to bring to surface and detail gaps on the disruptive aspect of this innovative sector. A bibliometric revision was used to map the research present in the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science database, followed by a systematic integrative review to structure the evolution of the research and present the main aspects. Five categories that show the evolution of the research on AV technology were retrieved, such as a new focus on the users of technology. We also identified gaps in each category on how this technology should reach the market. Additionally, it was also possible to draw a global view of the technology development landscape by the analysis of both academic and market data, according to the KPMG report, and also to identify the recent market trend of mobility as a service (MaaS).

Keywords: autonomous vehicles; mobility as a service; terrestrial mobility; autonomous vehicles market; autonomous vehicles technology; automation systems; intermodal transportation; technology development; bibliometric review; integrative review.
