The objective of this study was to investigate pedestrians' informational needs towards self-
driving vehicles (SDVs). Previous research has shown that external human-machine
interfaces (eHMIs) compensate for pedestrian-driver communication when SDVs are
integrated into traffic. However, detailed insights on which information the eHMI shall
provide lack so far. In a mixed design study, N= 59 participants encountered a simulated
driverless vehicle in different traffic scenarios (a. unsignalized intersection vs. b. parking lot; …
