- mobilio 4y agoThat's an good idea. Actually few LED lights didn't require too much power and maintenance.
- unnah 4y agoYes, every self-driving car should have a row of LED lights at the front. Also, they should indicate that the AI is actively scanning its environment by switching the LEDs on and off in a regular left-to-right pattern.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoAnd those lights should be in a vertical row of 8 red lights, going left-to right. And when the car speaks to the driver and the surroundings, there should be three vertical bar graphs made of red leds to indicate the speech. There is a good controller for those kinds of lights, named "knight industry two thousand", but i think there is and upgrade to 'three tousand' available too.

Low sun behind the vehicle, especially if it's a motorbike, makes it very hard to see. If the bike isn't lit up at the front you stand a fighting chance. If it's got the front headlight on then you don't even see the silhouette, you just see bright light surrounding and bright light from the middle. Motorcycle Action Group in the UK has had to run a handful of "repeal this safety law because it actually makes things more dangerous" campaigns in the last 20 years.
