It is to be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and are not to precise scale, which is merely for the purpose of facilitating and distinctly claiming the embodiments of the present invention. Further, the structures illustrated in the drawings are often part of actual structures. In particular, the drawings may have different emphasis points and may sometimes be scaled differently.
When riding an autonomous vehicle, it is highly likely that the vehicle occupants will find some of the hazards not found by the autonomous system. At this time, the passenger with driving qualification can take over the driving theoretically to carry out manual driving. However, such a switch-over is not as time to switch-over when a dangerous situation occurs. In addition, when the automatic driving vehicle has dangerous driving behaviors, the vehicle occupant is likely to subconsciously give out various representative dangerous warning sentences such as "dangerous", "cheering up in a quick collision", "close to cheering up in a too close proximity", "runaway cheering up", and the like.
In view of the above, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the present embodiment provides an automatic driving safety redundancy system, including: the system comprises a sound acquisition module 11, a sound recognition module 12 and an automatic driving decision module 13; wherein the content of the first and second substances,
