Research casts new light on bike safety in the age of self-driving cars

Credit: University of Glasgow Equipping self-driving cars with external displays that use colored lights to communicate their next maneuver could help keep cyclists safe on the roads of the future, researchers say. With autonomous vehicles becoming more common, reducing active human involvement in driving in the process, researchers from the University of Glasgow have been working to investigate new ways to help self-driving cars speak the language of cyclists. Their suggestion is that external human-machine interfaces, or eHMIs, could be the key to quickly and reliably signaling self-driving cars’ intentions Read More
