That’s not something you can really automate at the moment & in the grand scheme of things not running over unfortunate pedestrians / reversing into things on the road is probably a net economic benefit :) (Which is not to say that a lot of these jobs decribed up-thread aren’t make-work, but this particular one probably isn’t.)

Hooking up a motion sensor to a light bar or some flashing lights and noise makers also works. And is airly common around blind exits in city's.

Alternatively you can send one person out to do that as nessisarily.
