Systems and methods for communicating autonomous vehicle confidence levels are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer implemented method includes obtaining, by a computing system including one or more computing devices onboard an autonomous vehicle, data associated with the autonomous vehicle. The method includes determining, by the computing system, a vehicle confidence level associated with one or more system actions of the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the data associated with the autonomous vehicle. The method includes determining, by the computing system, an external vehicle indication that is indicative of the vehicle confidence level. The method includes outputting, by the computing system via an output device onboard the autonomous vehicle, the external vehicle indication that is indicative of the vehicle confidence level. The external vehicle indication is outputted to at least a portion of a surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle.
