Ford's New Patent Shows Future Vehicles Could Communicate With PedestriansOver the past decades, the automotive industry has significantly improved vehicle safety. Most of these improvements relate to improved vehicle design and new safety technologies. However, despite these changes, we are several decades away from making completely safe cars — especially from a pedestrian point of view. In fact, pedestrian safety is a growing concern among some of the largest automakers, with companies making concerted efforts to solve this problem. In light of these limitations, automakers are resorting to improving existing technologies to at least reduce pedestrian fatalities.
