To reduce the number of accidents with pedestrians, these researchers add eyes to self-driving cars

As you know, in terms of technology and innovation, the Japanese are at the forefront. Today, researchers from the University of Tokyo are making a name for themselves with cartoon-style cars.

Adding big eyes to the front bumpers of self-driving cars is the solution found by researchers from the University of Tokyo to prevent road accidents.

In Japan, small cars without drivers are more and more numerous. But in the city, pedestrians are still the majority and accidents are on the increase.

Faced with this, these researchers have therefore found a way to help pedestrians know when to cross. Because yes, with several passers-by in front of it, a car will not necessarily detect everyone. It is therefore possible that a pedestrian is hit because the sensors did not spot him in time.

To know whether or not the car saw a pedestrianscientists have added eyes to vehicles. If they are looking in your direction, it means that the car has spotted you and you can cross. Smart no?

For now, testing has been limited to the University campus. No trials have been allowed on the street but the first results seem very encouraging. According to the researchers behind this project, the number of accidents fell by 64% during this experiment.

So, business to follow…
