Displays on Automated Cars Could Improve Cyclist Safety
If you work in the energy sector then you will be interested to know that displays on a number of automated cars are going to represent virtual drivers as well as traffic projections. They are going to do this on the road. Emojis are going to be displayed on the surface and this is going to allow autonomous vehicles to all share the waring of their movements with cyclists across the globe. The recommendations are based on a number of findings. This all comes from new research that has been done based on human and computer interaction. Researchers at Glasgow University are putting in the work to try and explore non-verbal and complex language. On top of this, they are also going to be helping the cars to drive themselves. Research has been done time and time again by the team and they have suggested that the era of self-driving cars could now be upon us. Cyclists have to teach the cars so that they can learn how to keep them safe while on the road.
Stephen Brewster who works in computer science has led the research unit, saying that right now there is no need to develop clear or consistent communication when it comes to cyclists and the interaction between public vehicles. Cyclists and drivers, over the years, have gone on to develop their own language. They have given signs on how to merge lanes and they have also gone on to help with self-driving. Of course, self-drivers do not have the ability to interact with cyclists and they also cannot indicate which way they are going to go from a cyclist perspective. With all of that in mind, it is important to know that the future is now here, and that more is being done to ensure that people are given the help they need on the road.
