The aim of this research was to identify potential external features on a fully autonomous
vehicle (FAV) and investigate which features would help pedestrians to understand the
intended behavior of a FAV at a crosswalk, improve their receptivity toward FAVs, and affect
their crossing behavior. In the case of a FAV, technology may be primarily responsible for
control of a vehicle, and therefore, interpersonal communication is not possible. The
researchers wanted to identify potential interface/s on FAVs to make pedestrian-FAV …
