1. A method for adaptively providing auxiliary driving information, said method being implemented by a processor located in a vehicle that is currently running on a current road section, said method comprising steps of:
A) acquiring vehicle driving images, vehicle control information and vehicle positioning data from an in-vehicle system of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle driving images, the vehicle control information and the vehicle positioning data correspond to a current driving condition of the vehicle, and wherein the vehicle driving images include images of a view in front of the vehicle, and the vehicle control information is related to a current vehicle speed and a current vehicle direction control;
B) using image recognition to acquire one or more traffic signs that correspond to the current road section from the vehicle driving images;
C) determining whether a driver of the vehicle is familiar with the current road section based on the vehicle positioning data and a vehicle travel route history of the vehicle, so as to obtain a first determination result;
D) determining whether the driver has good driving habits in terms of vehicle speed control and lane-changing based on the current vehicle speed, a vehicle control history of the vehicle, and speed limit information that includes a speed limit of the current road section, so as to obtain a second determination result;
E) selecting one or more prompt objects from said one or more traffic signs, and determining a prompt order of said one or more prompt objects based on reference information, the first determination result and the second determination result, wherein the reference information is related to one of a traffic violation history that corresponds to the current road section and a dangerous situation that corresponds to the current road section; and
F) causing an output module that is located in the vehicle to provide the auxiliary driving information by perceivably outputting said one or more prompt objects in the prompt order.
