Smart Glasses Could Help Cyclists Communicate with Self-Driving Cars, Study Suggests

Researchers from the University of Glasgow have suggested that self-driving cars need to learn the "language of cyclists" to ensure road safety. The team has recommended that autonomous vehicles should behave appropriately and understand human communications. One solution is for cyclists to wear "smart glasses" which AVs could communicate directly to. The researchers also suggest that AVs could better signal their intentions with displays integrated onto their exteriors. The team observed 414 separate interactions between bike riders and motorists at five city intersections during busy periods in the morning and late afternoon to learn more about how road users interact.
