According to one embodiment, a first autonomous driving system (e.g., main system) is configured to perform a planning and control operation on an ADV, including perceiving a driving environment surrounding the ADV and planning a trajectory to drive the ADV. A second autonomous driving system (e.g., a backup system) operates as a redundant driving system to monitor a first operating status of the first autonomous driving system. The first autonomous driving system further monitors a second operating status of the second autonomous driving system. A safety action is performed to transition the ADV into a safer state based on the monitored operating status of the first and second autonomous driving systems.
