Abstract

An autonomous driving method includes receiving a braking instruction from an autonomous driving system; determining a prompt mode based on the braking instruction; and controlling a sound prompt module or a light prompt module to prompt according to the prompt mode. One example includes a prompt scheme, by using a braking instruction from an autonomous driving system and performing a sound and light prompt based on the braking instruction, such that a safety staff can learn the braking intention of a vehicle via the sound or light prompt before the vehicle performs braking.
