An obstacle detection reliability assessment method is implemented by a processing unit, including: (A) after receiving a current image, using a first classification method to obtain a first current obstacle detection result indicating the obstacles detected by the first classification method and using a second classification method to obtain a second current obstacles detection result indicating the obstacle detected by the second classification method; (B) determining whether the first and second current obstacle detection results have at least one different obstacle; and (C) when determining the first current obstacle detection result and the second current obstacle detection result indeed having at least one different obstacle, obtaining at least one penalty score respectively corresponding to the at least one different obstacle, and subtracting the at least one penalty score from a confidence score.
