External communication between autonomous vehicles and human road users – eHMI in the SALSA Project
Autonomous vehicles must communicate safely with pedestrians and cyclists. In the SALSA project, researchers are developing innovative external human-machine interfaces (eHMI) to clearly convey driving intentions. With studies, prototypes and user surveys, concepts are being developed that improve acceptance and road safety. Initial results are being presented at events and to experts.

Relaxed arrival at your destination: Automated driving will enable you to sleep while driving
Automated driving could make it possible to sleep while driving. In the SALSA project, researchers are developing a holistic sleep concept with ergonomic seating solutions, gentle waking methods and measures to counteract sleep inertia. These are tested in driving simulators and on test tracks to improve comfort and safety – for a relaxed and restful…
