Dutch launch 'intelligent bicycle' that warns of danger (phys.org)

Interesting to see that in Holland 'danger' for cyclists is... other cyclists. I was expecting systems that detect cars, trucks, and buses. It seems like using Hall effect, say, and letting the machine build a profile of how near on average vehicles get to the bike, you might be able to squeeze out a warning, but if it was only 1s, I am not sure that would be of much use.
