“V2X connects vehicles to everything, though, this #technology can do much more than just protect #drivers. Like a #digital seatbelt for the 21st century, V2X-enabled #bikes can provide critical protection for their riders by prompting V2X #cars to display a warning right in front of the driver when a #cyclist is about to cross their path”
“anonymized #data can be shared with #cities to help plan new #bike and #pedestrian#infrastructure”
What next?
A P2X box for pedestrians? On a hi-vis armband, perhaps?
Anything, anything but engineering the road so cars are less dangerous. Or, you know, removing the threat altogether by opening the street to bikes and peds only.
