1. A security system for an autonomous vehicle driving on a road, wherein the autonomous vehicle comprises a sensor unit for collecting sensor information, a planning unit for generating planning data for the autonomous vehicle, one or more lights, and a horn, the security system comprising:
a reception module configured to receive the sensor information and the planning data;
a detection module configured to detect, based on the sensor information, a driving situation of the autonomous vehicle in which one or more objects on the road cause the autonomous vehicle to slow down;
an assessment module configured to assess the driving situation based on the detection of the driving situation, the sensor information, and the planning data, as a potential plunder incident; and
a reaction module configured to execute, in case of the potential plunder incident, an emergency reaction of the autonomous vehicle, wherein the emergency reaction comprises activating the one or more lights and the horn in a continuous way.
