Lidar and Pedestrian Safety

While there are many modes and preferences when it comes to transportation, every person is a pedestrian at some point in their day. Unfortunately, being a pedestrian can be hazardous. For instance, in 2018 in the United States, there was a more than three percent increase in the number of pedestrians killed in traffic crashes. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the number totaled 6,283 deaths, which was the highest since 1990. Accidents involving pedestrians are preventable tragedies.
