Metaverse, envisioned as a blended reality-virtual realm, became popular in 2021. Building metaverse for vehicles and transportation systems with extended reality technologies can provide an immersive user experience for drivers and passengers. However, realizing a seamless metaverse experience in such a dynamic mobile environment faces numerous challenges, such as efficiency, privacy, and fairness. This talk will discuss several recent studies to elaborate on a collaborative transportation metaverse system toward efficient cooperative perception, privacy-preserved learning volumetric service, and fairness-guaranteed Augmented Reality service. Finally, the talk will be concluded with future directions of the vehicular metaverse.
