While modern autonomous driving systems increasingly rely on machine learning and deep neural networks, classical algorithms continue to play a foundational role in ensuring reliability, interpretability, and real-time performance. Techniques such as Kalman filtering, A* path planning, PID control, and SLAM remain integral to perception, localization, and decision-making modules. Their deterministic nature and lower computational overhead make them especially valuable in safety-critical scenarios and resource-constrained environments. This talk explores the enduring relevance of classical algorithms, their integration with learning-based methods, and their evolving scope in the context of next-generation autonomous vehicle architectures.
