Abstract
A computer system has processing circuitry to handle a first vehicle. The first vehicle is travelling in a longitudinal travel direction on a road. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain from a sensor, sensor data of a motion of a second vehicle travelling towards the first vehicle in the longitudinal travel direction, and based on the sensor data, estimate a risk of collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle. When the estimated risk of collision is within a first predefined interval, the processing circuitry is configured to trigger a safety action to be performed by the first vehicle based on the motion of the second vehicle. The safety action includes adjusting a motion of the first vehicle and/or actuating airbags of the first vehicle.
