True to its nature, Mercedes-Benz’s self-driving car is “luxury in motion.” The automaker is creating a high-end vehicle that not only pilots itself but also functions as a mobile living space that allows owners to relax and interact with the digital environment as they would at home. Along with thinking about the ride’s interior, designers have considered the external cues necessary for pedestrians to interact with vehicles. The car displays signals on the roadway to indicate its intentions (e.g., pulling into a parking space) and to let others know when it’s safe to enter the roadway (e.g., presenting a crosswalk for those on foot).
