Copilot is a device designed by Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science alumni that uses technology typically found in autonomous vehicles to watch the area behind a cyclist and alert them to oncoming traffic or other risks outside their field of vision. The device attaches to the back of a bicycle in the same location as a rear bike light and uses camera sensors and an artificial intelligence chip to analyze potential threats and alert the cyclist. Of the 24,698 vehicle crashes reported to the City of Pittsburgh Crash Data Dashboard between 2017 and 2022, 1,214 involved a pedestrian and 238 involved a bicycle, with four of the bicycle crashes resulting in deaths.
