I'm sure the self driving vehicles already have the tech to accomplish this, but it should be packaged for human piloted vehicles as well.
Sensors to detect when the vehicle is on path for hitting a vulnerable road user such as a cyclist, pedestrian or motorcycle (could apply for other vehicles too). The system will then engage the vehicle's horn (and maybe brakes) to alert the pending victim that this vehicle is being piloted towards them. We have too many incompetent drivers, even commercial drivers such as city bus drivers.
On Monday at UT Austin we had a bus driver murder a cyclist, after being shouted at by passengers to stop, who saw the whole thing happen.
I believe this tech could be effective without causing many false alarms. With a combination of location, speed, and trajectory data for both the vehicle and the pending victim, this would save lives.
