Rider Protection

I mean I don't think there's any tech to be made that will make other drivers on the road better. I guess since things are shifting towards autonomous driving that perhaps sensors on cars will be more aware of a bikes presence on the road. I suppose its only a matter of time until we see futuristic protection suits.
The 'air bag' suits are a good idea and are being used in racing situations already but it's the old story - riders still have to wear them. A lot of riders now, esp in hot climate zones dont wear extra protective clothing on a motorcycle.
 
It would be good if one day cars were all fitted with a motorcycle detection system. Bikes could be fitted with a transponder and when a car detected a motorcycle in its vicinity a low level alarm/flashing light was activated that alerted the driver to keep an eye out for hard to see motorcyclists.
I can see various issues with it already but just a thought..
