Canyon plan to integrate Autotalks' V2X into bicycles to help reduce accidents
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoI really like this. I wish this kind of ambient information technology was more broadly available. It's such a waste having it all so consigned to only big powers & interests. Reminds me of MITRE building a low cost ADS-B position-reporting system for small planes & gliders. What used to be a tens of thousands of dollar system, to make the sky safe, suddenly made accessible. I don't know what happened after they sold off the rights, don't know if there was follow through, but it seems like such a regular story, where we could do great things, could make information available to the world, but so many powers that be are only interested in gigantic profit margins. Whether the rest world can do for itself is always such an active question.
