12 Current and Future Fixes for Transportation Woesby Lisa Merolla, Popular MechanicsIdea for the Future: Mitchell Joachim, an urban designer known for his innovative ideas, has dreamed up a street concept that could direct cars away from walkers. He proposes using radio-frequency identification (FRID) and light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technologies to sense pedestrians. For example, he says, "If a little girl drops a ball that rolls into the street, the pixel based sensors will reconfigure traffic flow and create a safety zone around the girl and ball path."http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/transportation/4327634.html?page=2
