It's a pair of handlebar mounted sensors which show how closely cars have passed by. The biggest difference is in the crowd sourced data about general safety of roads. That's really a feature which could be added to most of the existing systems. The hardware is all about tracking how close vehicles are to a bike. That's the same problem radar and camera systems are solving and have been solving for a while. The article acts like the sensors are novel - which they are not.

"That's really a feature which could be added to most of the existing systems."
Obviously not.
