Autonomous cars to be fitted with 'human flypaper'

A pioneering new safety technology designed by Google could see a reduction in the number of deaths and serious injuries caused by car crashes.

The internet giant has been heavily involved in the progression of autonomous technology for a while now, racking up more than one million miles of driver-free testing on roads in California and Texas. Despite driverless cars promising to be the safest vehicles on the road, it appears that Google is not willing to take any chances when it comes to pedestrian safety.
