Google's self-driving cars have gone a total of 100,000 miles with no accidents and now the company is working towards making their vehicles even safer.

谷歌的无人驾驶汽车已累计安全行驶10万英里（约16.1万公里），未发生任何事故。现在，谷歌正致力于将无人驾驶汽车打造得更加安全。

The software giant recently secured a patent for technology to communicate with pedestrians¹.

Screens and/or a speaker system could be used to help the cars and humans coexist safely on the road.

The details of the patent reveal the car will be able to sense when a person is standing² in front or close to it and will then decide the next step to take.

The screens, which could be mounted on the doors or hood³ could flash alerts like 'Stop', 'Safe Cross' or a traffic sign that would inform pedestrians about what the car is doing.

The speaker system could vocalize the text shown on the screens and send out other alerts.

The patent says, 'the vehicle may include sensors⁴ which detect an object such as a pedestrian attempting or about to cross the roadway in front of the vehicle.'

'The vehicle's computer may then determine the correct way to respond to the pedestrian.'

'The vehicle may then provide a notification to the pedestrian of what the vehicle is going to do or is currently doing.'
