This invention presents a vehicle safety system (VSS) for autonomous vehicles (AVs) utilizing an onboard unit (OBU) capable of communicating with various entities, comprising roadside units (RSUs), other OBUs, and cloud platforms. The OBU incorporates a safety subsystem designed to implement proactive, active, and passive safety measures. The proactive safety measures comprise incident prediction and warnings. The active safety measures comprise emergency braking, and the passive safety measures comprise incident response and dynamic routing. This VSS can be further enhanced by incorporating sensing and processing capabilities of the RSU network or the cloud platform, enabling distributed and integrated safety functions and improved environmental awareness. The system aims to enhance AV safety by addressing incidents before, during, and after their occurrence through comprehensive safety measures at a system level, comprising a vehicle centric system, a vehicle-road system, or a vehicle cloud system.
