Abstract
A system for implementing an interaction between a semi-autonomous or autonomous motor vehicle and a vulnerable user of a carriageway used by the motor vehicle and potentially crossed by a vulnerable user at a crossing, pedestrians and cyclists being considered to be vulnerable users. The system includes an environment sensor, a computer which processes the data received from the environment sensor, and a display device which is directed to outside of the vehicle and controlled by the computer. The display device being in the form of a horizontal strip occupying a longitudinal end of the vehicle, including an at least four pixels per cm2 matrix panel configured to provide vulnerable users present in the vehicle's environment with a visual indication as to whether or not they may cross the carriageway road surface, and delivers either an indication prompting them to cross or, conversely, an indication forbidding them from crossing.
