Researchers at the University of Tokyo have found that adding robotic googly eyes that turn to gaze at pedestrians the car has identified help make them safer, by letting humans know the car has recognized them and (hopefully) won’t run them over. Plus the cars look way friendlier too — nobody ever thinks they’re going to get killed by a car with googly eyes. Still, if you try crossing the street looking at your cellphone I guarantee it will take the opportunity to speed up and end you.
