Abstract
In one embodiment, an emergency vehicle detection system can be provided in the ADV travelling on a road to detect the presence of an emergency vehicle in a surrounding environment of the ADV using both audio data and visual data. The emergency vehicle detection system can use a trained neutral network to independently generate a detection result from the audio data, and use another trained network to independently generate another detection result from the visual data. The emergency vehicle detection system can fuse the two detection results to determine the position and moving direction of the emergency vehicle. The ADV can take appropriate actions in response to the position and moving direction of the emergency vehicle.
