Abstract
Current work in Autonomous Driving (AD) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) takes the perspective of the ego vehicle when it comes to handling other traffic participants. They are incorporated into planning or warning systems as potential collision objects with the target to avoid interactions.
However, in manual traffic there are many interactions between drivers and outside participants that also address other aspects such as mutual utility, comfort, social norms, friendliness and perceived safety, in particular for Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) such as pedestrians. New technologies considering interactions with pedestrians and effects of ego behaviors on them have the potential to lead to smoother traffic and better mutual relations between pedestrians and motor vehicles
