1. An autonomous vehicle (AV) comprising an onboard unit (OBU), wherein said OBU comprises:
an artificial intelligence (AI) system for automated vehicle control and traffic operations, wherein said AI system comprises:
a) a database of accumulated historical data comprising background, vehicle, traffic, object, and/or environmental data for a localized area;
b) sensors configured to provide real-time data comprising background, vehicle, traffic, object, and/or environmental data for said localized area; and
c) a computation component configured to compare said real-time data and said accumulated historical data to provide sensing, behavior prediction and management, decision making, and vehicle control for the vehicle;
wherein the AI system is configured to provide proactive safety methods by predicting incidents and estimating risk; and
a data processing module configured to fuse data from data sources comprising vehicle sensors and/or roadside sensors.
