AI summary

The disclosure provides a method for detecting collision data, a driving device and a medium. The method includes: obtaining scenario data that includes perception data about a surrounding target object and driving data of the object to be detected; calculating a collision risk score based on the perception data and the driving data separately to obtain a first collision risk score for the perception data and a second collision risk score for the driving data; obtaining a collision confidence level for the scenario data based on the first collision risk score and the second collision risk score; and if the collision confidence level is greater than a preset confidence threshold, determining the scenario data as collision scenario data, and/or recalling the scenario data, thereby realizing objective collection of the collision scenario data with a higher collision confidence level, and improving the reliability of the collision scenario data, thus helping improve the performance of autonomous driving perception and decision-making algorithms, and improving the reliability of vehicle abnormality diagnosis, accident liability determination, etc.
