1 . A method for generating driving alerts based on multimedia content elements, comprising:

obtaining, in real-time during a trip of a vehicle, a first set of multimedia content elements captured by at least one sensor deployed in proximity to the vehicle; and

generating, in real-time, a driving alert, when it is determined that at least one signature generated for the first set of multimedia content elements matches at least one signature generated for a matching multimedia content element of a second set of multimedia content elements, wherein each of the second set of multimedia content elements is associated with a predetermined potential cause of collision.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending, to a driving control system configured to control the vehicle, the generated driving alert.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each multimedia content element is at least one of: an image, and a video.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the alert indicates the potential cause of collision associated with the matching multimedia content element of the second set of multimedia content elements.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein each of the second set of multimedia content elements is further associated with at least one predetermined collision parameter, wherein the alert further indicates the at least one collision parameter associated with the matching multimedia content element of the second set of multimedia content elements.

6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein each of the second set of multimedia content elements is further associated with at least one predetermined collision avoidance instruction, further comprising:

causing a driving control system of the vehicle to execute the at least one collision avoidance instruction associated with the matching multimedia content element of the second set of multimedia content elements, wherein the at least one collision avoidance instruction, when executed by the driving control system, configures the driving control system to perform at least one action for avoiding the indicated potential cause of collision.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating the at least one signature for the first set of input multimedia content elements, wherein each signature represents a concept, wherein each concept is a collection of signatures and metadata representing the concept.

8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

comparing the at least one signature generated for the first set of multimedia content elements to a plurality of signatures generated for the second set of multimedia content elements, wherein each matching multimedia content element is one of the second set of multimedia content elements having a signature matching at least one of the at least one signature generated for the first set of multimedia content elements above a predetermined threshold.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein each signature is generated by a signature generator system, wherein the signature generator system includes a plurality of at least partially statistically independent computational cores, wherein the properties of each core are set independently of the properties of each other core.

10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to execute a process, the process comprising:

obtaining, in real-time during a trip of a vehicle, a first set of multimedia content elements captured by at least one sensor deployed in proximity to the vehicle; and

generating, in real-time, a driving alert, when it is determined that at least one signature generated for the first set of multimedia content elements matches at least one signature generated for a matching multimedia content element of a second set of multimedia content elements, wherein each of the second set of multimedia content elements is associated with a predetermined potential cause of collision.

11 . A system for determining driving decisions based on multimedia content elements, comprising:

a processing circuitry; and

a memory connected to the processing circuitry, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:

obtain, in real-time during a trip of a vehicle, a first set of multimedia content elements captured by at least one sensor deployed in proximity to the vehicle; and

generate, in real-time, a driving alert, when it is determined that at least one signature generated for the first set of multimedia content elements matches at least one signature generated for a matching multimedia content element of a second set of multimedia content elements, wherein each of the second set of multimedia content elements is associated with a predetermined potential cause of collision.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is further configured to:

send, to a driving control system configured to control the vehicle, the generated driving alert.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein each multimedia content element is at least one of: an image, and a video.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the alert indicates the potential cause of collision associated with the matching multimedia content element of the second set of multimedia content elements.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein each of the second set of multimedia content elements is further associated with at least one predetermined collision parameter, wherein the alert further indicates the at least one collision parameter associated with the matching multimedia content element of the second set of multimedia content elements.

16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein each of the second set of multimedia content elements is further associated with at least one predetermined collision avoidance instruction, wherein the system is further configured to:

cause a driving control system of the vehicle to execute the at least one collision avoidance instruction associated with the matching multimedia content element of the second set of multimedia content elements, wherein the at least one collision avoidance instruction, when executed by the driving control system, configures the driving control system to perform at least one action for avoiding the indicated potential cause of collision.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is further configured to:

generate the at least one signature for the first set of input multimedia content elements, wherein each signature represents a concept, wherein each concept is a collection of signatures and metadata representing the concept.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the system is further configured to:

compare the at least one signature generated for the first set of multimedia content elements to a plurality of signatures generated for the second set of multimedia content elements, wherein each matching multimedia content element is one of the second set of multimedia content elements having a signature matching at least one of the at least one signature generated for the first set of multimedia content elements above a predetermined threshold.

19 . The system of claim 17 , further comprising:

a signature generator system, wherein each signature is generated by the signature generator system, wherein the signature generator system includes a plurality of at least partially statistically independent computational cores, wherein the properties of each core are set independently of the properties of each other core.
