A panel with programmable LEDs replaces the Skoda Enyaq iV's optional Crystal Face grille, sending messages to pedestrians through animated graphics car auto cars
An illuminated panel with programmable LED strip holders takes up the same space as the Enyaq iV’s optional Crystal Face grille. When the EV approaches a pedestrian crossing, it displays animated graphics, letting people know it is aware of their existence. After that, the
slows down and the grille displays a walking figure alongside green arrows so that pedestrians know it is the right time to cross the street.When the vehicle is ready to take off, the grille changes to a red background with warning triangles to discourage bystanders from walking in front of it. The same would happen in the unlikely scenario of a moving vehicle not being able to stop at a pedestrian crossing.
The project is part of a wider trial scheme in the UK. Another part of it is the IPA2X robotic rover, designed to help children, senior citizens and people with disabilities cross the road. Like the illuminated grille, the robotic assistant that shows people when it is safe to cross the street, was developed by the Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics at the Czech Technical University in Prague , the Technical University of Munich and Skoda.

He studied Marine Biology at the University of Exeter (Penryn campus) and after graduating started his own blog site 'Marine Madness,' which he continues to run with other ocean enthusiasts. He is also interested in evolution, climate change, robots, space exploration, environmental conservation and anything that's been fossilized. When not at work he can be found watching sci-fi films, playing old Pokemon games or running (probably slower than he'd like).
