Abstract

A driving risk classification and prevention system for a vehicle being autonomously and manually driven, includes an orientation unit for confirming a location of the vehicle, an exterior sensing unit for sensing first information external to the vehicle, and an autonomous driving risk sensing unit for sensing second information which endanger autonomous driving of the vehicle. A communications unit is linked to the orientation unit for receiving third information corresponding to the location. A risk prevention unit is linked to the orientation unit, the exterior sensing unit, the autonomous driving risk sensing unit, and the communications unit. The risk prevention unit is used for generating a first index according to the first information, generating a second index according to the third information, generating a third index according to the second information, and determining whether a safety operation is performed according to the first index and the second index.
