A retro-fit design to help prevent the mauling of cyclists due to blind spots in Trucks.

About

Although there's a revolutionary spike in the adoption of driver-less automation and the ADAS technology in the news, the risks on today's roads are not yet mitigated! A quick look through the two scenarios in the video link supplied below will sum up the need to solve this problem. Following a rigorous 9-month research both on and off the trucks in trying to proffer a solution to the blind spot pandemic suffered cyclists mauled by large trucks,( despite many gadgets and gizmos) the inference is alarming and scary! Even though 90% of the times, cyclists have turned out to be the culprits! Deducing from the video links; i. Time, ii. Insurance premiums, iii. and People's lives- are all at stake in the event of any accident. Current offerings in the market such as the Sensors, multiple mirrors, and 360* lasers, including the ADAS help tackle some of these problems but certainly NOT all blindspot issues are covered. The lives of cyclists, parked cars as well as truck drivers, all matter. Whilst the likes of Mobileye, Volvo, and a few others are focused on similar next generation autonomous vehicles; there's a case for the posterity of the well over a ten million trucks daily distributing goods out there world over to continue doing so, delivering effectively and safely pending any future eventualities. I have an intuitive retrofit-table solution that'd help.
