A new electric vehicle is testing an innovative way to communicate with pedestrians and cyclists by using its front speaker to project warnings, custom text messages, and live voice alerts. The technology aims to enhance safety by making the vehicle’s presence and intentions clearer to those around it. Unlike traditional warning systems, this approach allows for real-time updates, potentially reducing the risk of accidents in shared urban spaces. The feature could set a new standard for how autonomous and electric vehicles interact with vulnerable road users.
The Mazda CX-6e uses a front speaker to warn people ahead of the car, but it can also project custom text and live voice messages.
