Hi-Drive Topical Webinar #8: Talk to Me, AV: How Automated Vehicles Communicate with Other Road Users

The eighth Topical Webinar in the Hi-Drive series will explore how automated vehicles communicate with other road users through external Human–Machine Interfaces (eHMIs) and vehicle kinematics. Drawing from over 30 experimental studies conducted across Europe and beyond, this session presents key findings from the Hi-Drive project’s work on Interactions with Other Road Users.

What You’ll Discover

• How eHMIs like LED light bands and projections enhance communication
• The role of vehicle movement patterns in conveying intent
• Insights from real-world and simulator studies on pedestrian and cyclist behavior
• Design considerations for intuitive, cross-cultural communication
• Challenges and opportunities for deploying AV communication systems at scale

Why You Should Attend?

• Learn how AVs can safely and effectively interact with vulnerable road users
• Gain insights into the latest research shaping external communication strategies
• Hear from leading experts in human factors, design, and automated mobility
• Join a panel discussion on the path from research to real-world deployment
