Too many Kids and Pets die of heatstroke every year after being left in vehicles - https://goo.gl/FFDbEr
How about an internet connected Amazon Echo like device that with camera and vision analysis https://goo.gl/SoUzEi . It can basically learn to
- subtract the vehicle https://goo.gl/x4uKVU
- sense when temperatures are at dangerous levels
- Take a picture and send it to certain pre determined phones alerting the owners that a kid or pet might be in the car.
Maybe we can even wire the car to switch on air conditioning till help arrives, alert local authorities to go check on the car etc.
Another way to have an API that would let sites like reddit, hacker news, you tube have a live feed of "potential kid in hot car" images that could crowd source a second level of human verification.
