A 3D zebra crossing that slows down cars
Zebra crossings are meant to slow drivers down and make them aware of pedestrians crossing the street. But, far too often, drivers and bikers will zoom through them. To combat the issue, one town in Iceland is now using 3-D crosswalks to make them stand out to drivers and slow down speeding cars.?They look like a roadblock from a distance, and it?s only when you slow down that you see it?s only a zebra crossing. https://www.simplemost.com/iceland-3d-crosswalk-slow-down-drivers/

A 6th sense for blind people
A wristband called Sunu emits a high-frequency sound wave that bounces off objects as far as 14 feet in front before registering as a gentle, pulsing vibration. The closer the object is ? whether it?s a wall, trash can or person ? the more frequent the pulses become, allowing blind people to create a mental map of the world around them using echolocation. It?s like the sonar device being used in vehicles to sense nearby objects and avoid crashes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/10/27/for-decades-the-blind-have-used-canes-to-get-around-now-an-special-wrist-band-helps-them-locate-hazards/?
