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.

Even though they didn’t win the top prize in the contest, the team isn’t giving up. They’re still working hard on their invention, fine-tuning the technology to make it as effective as possible. Their goal? To create a device that could make driving safer for everyone, while also helping to protect the animals that share the road.
