VEHICLE WITH A WARNING DEVICE FOR WARNING A PEDESTRIAN

Autonomous cars or vehicles need to detect pedestrians or passengers crossing the road ahead of them or being about to cross it and warn them in order to avoid a collision. In a dense traffic situation, it might be well possible, that there is too much acoustic or visual impact on the pedestrian, such that acoustic or visual warning signals might not be recognized by the pedestrian in a timely manner because the pedestrian might be overwhelmed by acoustic or visual noise in the street. In order to strongly improve the pedestrian's safety, a vehicle is provided with a warning device for warning a pedestrian using a warning signal which creates a remote haptic sensation in the pedestrian. The pedestrian then will feel "touched" and his attention is fully drawn to the upcoming danger of the approaching vehicle even in noisy or visually distracting surroundings.
