Cars that see motorcycles: system that detects 'two wheels' invisible ones already being tested on the streets

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 19:46

A system that allows cars to detect motorcycles is currently being tested on the streets. The technology uses a short-range radio architecture that does not depend on mobile towers, allowing near real-time warnings. The main objective is to reduce and eventually eliminate fatal collisions at urban intersections, where motorcycles are often difficult for drivers to detect. The solution aims to fill a significant security gap in urban mobility, protecting two-wheeled vehicle users.

Why this matters

This system can directly benefit motorcyclists and drivers in urban areas, potentially saving lives by preventing accidents at intersections. The technology dispenses with heavy infrastructure, which can facilitate its large-scale implementation in Portuguese cities.
