A group of high school students in Denver came up with a cool idea to help drivers avoid hitting wildlife on the road. According to an article via Outdoor Life, they’ve designed a dashcam that uses AI and infrared cameras to detect animals, giving drivers a heads-up before an accident happens. It all started as a project for a school competition, but now it’s turned into something bigger. They’re in the final stages of perfecting the device, hoping it can make a real difference, especially in areas where wildlife is everywhere.
