Before revision: An external human machine interface (eHMI) can be viewed as an explicit communication method for providing driving intentions of an automated driving vehicle (AV) to pedestrians .
After revision: Compared to a manual driving vehicle (MV), an automated driving vehicle lacks a way to communicate with the pedestrian through the driver when it interacts with the pedestrian because the driver usually does not participate in driving tasks. Thus, an external human machine interface (eHMI) can be viewed as an explicit communication method for providing driving intentions of an automated driving vehicle (AV) to pedestrians .
