There is a signal light mounted on the top of the vehicle. When it detects a pedestrian in a crosswalk or waiting to cross, it lights up with a little ‘human walking’ picture. It makes it very clear to everyone it sees you.

Does it see you or is there someone else it's seeing?

Waymo, take note: instead of displaying a human walking, display googly eyes glancing at pedestrians.

Ah, now we know what to do with the Vision Pro's outward lenticular eye visualizations.

Didn't know about this. Only Apple would think of taking live video of your eyes and projecting them on the exterior of the visor... and call it Eye Sight...

Potential users will read "external display" and immediately think of many uses, and I'd bet the last of them would be "stream my eyes". It's perfectly bland and corporate, I suppose Apple is aiming for normalization, "VR googles you could wear at a party without feeling dorky!".

The iFixIt teardown was very interesting, nevertheless.

I get what you are saying. However where I live in Florida, drivers are so pedestrian blind and oblivious that they’ll run you down right in the middle of the crosswalk while playing on their phone. Friend of a friend was just killed as a pedestrian a week ago. Bring on the robodrivers!

Don't move to South Korea, where nearly everyone has tinted windshields and you literally can't.

Ok I won't? What a horrible thing to normalise.

To avoid this very problem North Korea has no cars at all. Clever.

Why do they have tinted windshields?

In the future we’ll tell our kids, “try to make eye contact with the driver’s sensors before crossing the street”

Having just rewatched the original Total Recall, I can only think of one perfect answer for this. Need to add a Johnny Cab guy to the driver seat and have his head look the direction he is going to go.

Or the automatic pilot from Airplane.

We should require them to have big eyes like 3yo kids car toys.
