StingerSense
An AI-powered bicycle safety system that uses scorpion-inspired vibration sensors embedded in wheel hubs to detect approaching vehicles from behind, automatically deploying a high-visibility mist halo around the cyclist in dangerous situations. The system solves the #1 cause of cycling fatalities—cars striking cyclists from behind in low-visibility conditions like fog, rain, or dawn.
The Wow Moment
A cyclist is riding through morning fog when a car approaches silently from behind at 40mph. Suddenly, a glowing mist halo erupts around their bike, and the driver slams on brakes—having spotted the cyclist 3 seconds earlier than they would have otherwise. The cyclist keeps pedaling, surrounded by a protective aura, as the car safely passes.
