Abstract
The present invention discloses an autonomous driving system able to make driving decisions and a method thereof, which decide a safer vehicle movement, wherein a processor generates a left-turn signal, a forward signal and a right-turn signal, receives and vectorizes a vehicle movement signal and object movement signals to determine whether one object is a dangerous or non-dangerous object, inputs the results into a corresponding equation to generate dangerous and non-dangerous object weights, substitutes the dangerous and non-dangerous object weights into a space weight equation to calculate left-turn, forward and right-turn lane section weights, uses the lane section weights to generate left-turn, forward and right-turn signal weights, generates a movement signal or a braking signal according to whether a highest one of the signal weights is over or below preset weight.
