I think this is conceptually a good idea, even if this implementation and color choice may leave something to be desired.
The idea that there would be a pilot lamp for self driving itself is a good idea - and while I think this color is fine (ships use green lights for starboard for example) - its obvious from reactions here that further thought and discussion is needed on the matter.
I think once we can agree on a color/mode of operation, a self driving pilot lamp should be a legal requirement - particularly as a means to enhance pedestrian safety.
- pushfoo 3y agoAdding shape or location is better than color alone. For example, most countries accommodate color-blind drivers by standardizing the ordering and orientation of traffic lights in addition to the colors. In the US, there's no shape variation, but some other countries add it.
- Aloha 3y agoAnother good option to consider.

No, its obvious from reaction here that commenters here have the completely misguided belief that experts in fields somehow are unable to consider the little pet topics that each of those commenters come up with. Everything brought up here was considered when choosing that light color. You can read all about how the SAE choose that color here: https://wiki.unece.org/download/attachments/75532788/AVSR-03-02e.pdf?api=v2 https://wiki.unece.org/download/attachments/75532788/AVSR-03...
