   Agreed. And we view what we're developing as a stepping-stone to protected bike lanes.

   Agreed that the ultimate solution is infrastructure. That's what we harp as well (Luxonis-Brandon here). And we actually see our goal as means to get there... to do what we can (as technologists) to try to keep people who ride bikes s

   So the idea is a smart rear bike light with situational awareness. More info on it is here: https://discuss.luxonis.com/d/8-it-works-working-prototype-o... The hardware/firmware/software/AI necessary to

   Yes, totally agree on V2X. That’s another hard infrastructure problem though… as it requires so many parties to adopt it (and implement it properly) for it to really help. We did talk to a bunch of V2X folks on this though to see how we c

   Luxonis-Brandon here. :-) Thanks for the reassuring words sunpazed! Yes, that’s exactly right... where the Garmin product is great for alerting the rider there exists a vehicle behind them - which is SUPER useful for touring riders - this

   Luxonis-Brandon here. So the distracted driver actually wouldn't be aware that the person riding the bike has this installed... unless the driver is paying super-close attention, in which case the device is not needed. So unlink the Te

   Thanks for the kind words. Brandon the founder here. :-) So although I could see how that quote could appear like that, the quote is not kissing the ring. We scoured the whole semiconductor start up scene to find a chip that could be use

   We agree that segregated infrastructure is the ultimate solution. But we're technologists and are 0% effective at lobbying for infrastructure. Having had a bunch of friends hurt and killed by distracted drivers, it's us using th

   Yes, ultimately infrastructure is the real solution here. Take the Netherlands for example. We interviewed folks from nearly every country on this, and the response in the Netherlands was heartwarming: Every person we talked to had never

    Thanks for the comments usrusr! And great points. So one of the things we did early-on is to prototype the whole flow to see if you could indeed get incredibly low false-positives. The key ended up being the combination of disparity dept

    Thanks for the comments! So the radar solution is great for touring riders, where one doesn't see a car for half an hour or a couple hours. It mentally wakes them up to the presence of a car. It's not intended for use in commuti

    Yes, mirrors are a fantastic solution. And for getting the attention of the distracted driver (as sometimes the dynamics of the bike preclude maneuvering out of the way in time), LOUD bicycle is a great solution: https://www.kic
