An autonomous vehicle safety system, a method of operating the same and an autonomous vehicle equipped with the autonomous vehicle safety system. An autonomous vehicle Bluetooth receiver is connected in a signal transmitting fashion to the engine control unit of an autonomous vehicle. Upon receiving a signal from a remote Bluetooth transmitter at a predefined proximity distance between the transmitter and the receiver, a microcontroller connected to the receiver actuates a relay switch disabling the engine control unit. The engine control unit may then also engage the vehicle breaks, lock the steering in place, and only after not receiving a proximal Bluetooth signal for a particular time span, enable again the autonomous vehicle operating mode.
