Here's some adorable news. Volvo is creating technology that will help Australian drivers avoid hitting kangaroos. As an NBC News article on the subject states, "Detection and avoidance technology already exists for other animals such as deer, moose and cows. But kangaroos pose a unique problem."
"Kangaroos are smaller than these animals and their behaviour is more erratic," says Martin Magnusson, senior safety engineer at Volvo. "This is why it's important that we test and calibrate our technology on real kangaroos in their natural environment." The link to the full NBC News article is embedded below.
