A method for testing of self-driving or autonomous vehicles A and their algorithms in situations with pedestrian interactions comprises providing a drone B controlled by a test person C. The control of the drone B comprises applying motion capture techniques and providing a walking platform to the test person C. The drone B comprises a camera, the images being wirelessly transmitted to the test person C, and the movement of the test person in response to the images tracked and used to control the drone B. There may be traffic between the drone and the vehicle. The method may be carried out in real time.
