This tech uses cell signals to help drivers not run over pedestrians
Israel-based startup Visiblezone is developing a technology that uses AI embedded in mobile phones and cars to predict and prevent accidents. The system uses a mathematical model that predicts human behavior several seconds ahead. If a pedestrian is in danger, the phone transmits a beacon to the surrounding area; an approaching car receives the signal, uses AI to determine risk, and if an accident is likely, the car alerts the driver. The company plans to donate the software to phone manufacturers to embed in their firmware and car manufacturers will pay to install the corresponding software in their operating systems.
