Direct Line Looks To Make Roads Safer With First Smart Pedestrian Crossing

Developed by insurance company Direct Line, it can see what is happening around it using computer vision and update the road markings without manual control.

RNIB Connect Radio's Simon Pauley spoke with Wendy Pearson from Direct line, to find out more.
