The cycling world is witnessing a significant breakthrough with the emergence of AI-powered bike tail lights that can detect vehicles and provide riders with crucial information about their surroundings. Two startups, Velo.AI and Survue, are pioneering this technology, offering innovative solutions that go beyond traditional radar detection. Velo.AI’s Copilot, already available in the market, uses a Raspberry Pi AI Kit to process information locally, detecting vehicles, their size, shape, and position, and alerting riders accordingly. The device also records footage, providing visual and audio cues for both riders and drivers. Survue, on the other hand, is gearing up for a Kickstarter campaign, promising a more compact design that not only detects vehicles but also predicts potential collisions, adjusting its alerts and recording footage accordingly. Both devices are poised to revolutionize road safety, offering riders a more informed and secure cycling experience.
AI-Powered Bike Tail Lights Revolutionize Road Safety
Velo.ai Copilot uses the recently introduced Raspberry Pi AI Kit, which houses the AI entirely onboard a $70 microcomputer.
