International GPS specialist Garmin has acquired South African technology company iKubu, which is developing a radar system that alerts cyclists of what’s happening around them on the road. The value of the deal has not been disclosed.
The Stellenbosch-based start-up, which specialises in radar and computer vision technology, was in the final stages of developing its bike-mounted radar, called Backtracker, which alerts cyclists of approaching vehicles.
