Thus physically, this smart car is like having a pair of eyes. And sophisticated, those eyes can glance left and right while monitoring the crossing pedestrians. That way, this car is expected to provide information to pedestrians, so as to let them know when the time is safe to cross the road or not.
"It’s second-nature to glance at the driver of the approaching vehicle before stepping into the road. Understanding how this translates in tomorrow’s more automated world is important," said Future Mobility Research Manager at Jaguar Land Rover, Pete Bennett through a release as quoted by Carcscoops.
Based on the results of research conducted by those company, at least 63 percent of pedestrians and bicycle users were worried about their safety if autonomous vehicles were on the streets.
