Is there a technology that can be installed in motor vehicles that can recognize cyclist, pedestrians, etc. and alert the driver?
Yes.
Yes, with modifications.
Maybe (lots of argument about flashing versus steady. I use steady lights, even during the day).
YES!
Yes, but it'll be too expensive.
But every idea on that list is a good one.
