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.
