I've often wished there was some kind of tiny beacon cyclists and pedestrians could carry to electronically alert those kinds of cars/drivers.
Yeah it's incorrectly shifting the responsibility to the victim but at this point whatever prevents injury/death/stress.
The problem is it would be abused to trick drivers.
- wilg 3y agoNo need, the cars already see cyclists and pedestrians and have emergency braking. A transponder system is just a worse version of the existing solution.
- ck2 3y agoThe cars don't see cyclists and pedestrians consistently or in time or interpret them correctly. All Tesla sensors have been reduced to just cameras which can fail in weather, fog, rain, snow. Remember Musk outsources safety for savings/profit as someone else's expensive problem. A beacon could save lives for those who are active and willing to carry it as one extra level of protection. But like I said the problem is spoofing for those that want to be an irritant.
