This tech uses cell signals to help drivers not run over pedestrians
Modern car safety technology has gotten very good about warning drivers before they hit other cars. This startup wants to add warnings before you hit people.
It’s one common scenario in car crashes: a pedestrian approaches an intersection, hidden from an oncoming driver by a building or trees, and steps off the curb. The driver can’t stop in time. It’s a problem that new sensors on vehicles can’t avoid, since someone behind a building isn’t any more visible to a sensor than to the person behind the wheel.
