A computer-implemented method, to be executed on a computing device, the computer-implemented method for an autonomous vehicle comprising: monitoring one or more machine vision sensors included within the autonomous vehicle to obtain perception information concerning one or more pedestrians (300, 301, 308, 312, 314) proximate the autonomous vehicle; identifying one or more humanoid shapes within the perception information, thus defining one or more detected humanoid shapes; generating proximate object display information that locates the one or more detected humanoid shapes with respect to the autonomous vehicle; and rendering the proximate object display information on a visual display system of the autonomous vehicle, thus confirming the perception of the one or more pedestrians (300, 301, 308, 312, 314) by the autonomous vehicle, wherein the rendering on the visual display system includes rendering at least an indicator that is pointing to a stationary pedestrian, wherein at least the indicator is stationary within visual display system, and wherein the rendering includes rendering instructions on the visual display system of the autonomous vehicle, as a pedestrian is in the path of the autonomous vehicle is detected, an indicator providing instructions to pedestrian in the form of an arrow that is asking pedestrian to move out of the path of autonomous vehicle, and wherein the rendering on the visual display system includes rendering a first indicator that is pointing to or corresponds with a first pedestrian and as the first pedestrian is moving right to left, the first indicator also moves right to left within visual display system and further, the rendering includes rendering a second indicator that is pointing to or corresponds with a second pedestrian and as the second pedestrian is moving left to right, second indicator also moves left to right within visual display system. monitoring one or more machine vision sensors included within the autonomous vehicle to obtain perception information concerning one or more pedestrians (300, 301, 308, 312, 314) proximate the autonomous vehicle; identifying one or more humanoid shapes within the perception information, thus defining one or more detected humanoid shapes; generating proximate object display information that locates the one or more detected humanoid shapes with respect to the autonomous vehicle; and rendering the proximate object display information on a visual display system of the autonomous vehicle, thus confirming the perception of the one or more pedestrians (300, 301, 308, 312, 314) by the autonomous vehicle, wherein the rendering on the visual display system includes rendering at least an indicator that is pointing to a stationary pedestrian, wherein at least the indicator is stationary within visual display system, and wherein the rendering includes rendering instructions on the visual display system of the autonomous vehicle, as a pedestrian is in the path of the autonomous vehicle is detected, an indicator providing instructions to pedestrian in the form of an arrow that is asking pedestrian to move out of the path of autonomous vehicle, and wherein the rendering on the visual display system includes rendering a first indicator that is pointing to or corresponds with a first pedestrian and as the first pedestrian is moving right to left, the first indicator also moves right to left within visual display system and further, the rendering includes rendering a second indicator that is pointing to or corresponds with a second pedestrian and as the second pedestrian is moving left to right, second indicator also moves left to right within visual display system.
