1. An autonomous vehicle (AV) control system comprising:
a sensing module provided in a vehicle, said sensing module collecting driving environment information; and
an onboard unit (OBU) provided in the vehicle, said OBU comprising:
1) a vehicle control module controlling the vehicle;
2) a roadside unit (RSU) communication module, said RSU communication module communicating with one or more RSU and receiving vehicle-specific targeted instructions and driving environment information from said one or more RSU; and
