The system is comprised of a memory storing executable instructions representing a signaling display module on a trailer of an autonomous vehicle. The system also comprises a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the signaling display module. The processor is configured to receive data from an autonomy computing system descriptive of a condition near the autonomous vehicle, process the data to generate a message relating to the condition indicating a remedial action of the autonomous vehicle in response to the condition, and transmit the message to a signaling display on the trailer prior to executing the remedial action.
