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.
