VEHICLE DRIVING RISK CLASSIFICATION AND PREVENTION SYSTEM AND METHOD

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; an autonomous driving risk sensing unit for sensing second information which endangers autonomous driving of the vehicle; a communications unit linked to the orientation unit for transceiving third information corresponding to the location; a risk prevention unit linked to the orientation unit, the exterior sensing unit, the autonomous driving risk sensing unit and the communications unit and used for generating a first index according to the first information, generating at least 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 at least the first index and the second index.
