With an estimated 3.5 million self-driving vehicles expected on America’s roads by next year, University of Iowa researchers are investigating how to make crossing the road safe, especially for children. In cars driven by humans, a hand wave or a car completely stopping are cues letting us know it’s safe to cross but in a world with self-driving cars, those signals may need to change. The research was made possible by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
