44、 that the car was about to accelerate.Then came the big challenge-testing the signals on real roads. “We needed to try out this new lighting to communicate the intention of the vehicle, but if youve got a driver behind the seat, you still have natural communication between humans,” said Andy Shaudt,
45、 who led the Virginia Tech research team. “So we needed to make it look like a driverless ear.”The team designed a car seat costume(戏装) that the driver would wear to cover his/her face and upper body. Of course, the drivers could see very clearly. The researchers then equipped the car with cameras t
