1. A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device, the computer-implemented method comprising:
equipping an autonomous vehicle with one or more machine vision sensors;
monitoring the one or more machine vision sensors to obtain perception information concerning one or more pedestrians 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;
rendering the proximate object display information on a visual display system of the autonomous vehicle, thus confirming perception of the one or more pedestrians proximate the autonomous vehicle to the one or more pedestrians proximate the autonomous vehicle, wherein the rendered proximate object display information comprises one or more pedestrian figures representing the one or more pedestrians proximate the autonomous vehicle; and
rendering instructions on the visual display system of the autonomous vehicle, the instructions instructing the one or more pedestrians proximate the autonomous vehicle to move in a particular direction, wherein the particular direction is indicated via an arrow.
