The new system, 41 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: called proxy Cycle, will allow cyclists to not only identify 42 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: safer roots, but also recognize when a car is getting 43 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: too close to riders. According to researchers, the system costs 44 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: less than twenty five US dollars to builds consisting of 45 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: a three D printed plastic casing that houses a pair 46 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: of senses and a bluetooth antenna.

If you're looking 52 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: for something else, you can listen to today's deep dive 53 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: on the Enhanced Games, the global sporting event where doping 54 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: is encouraged.
