Trek joins with Ford to propose bicycle to vehicle communications, as an addition to already proposed vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communications.

The system connects vehicles to a larger communications system, which means cars can communicate with other vehicles, pedestrian devices, bicycles, roadside signs, and construction zones.
A cyclist would ride with B2V-enabled equipment, initially manufactured by Trek or Bontrager. Or, he or she could have a mobile app with C-V2X. The driver would then be alerted by their car when a cyclist is present in a potentially dangerous area.
Trek partnered with a company named Tome, who also add in the buzzword, "AI-based" to make sure you know that they are really with it. No mention of the power requirements for this system, and how they can be met within the extremely small power capability of a bike rider, or even the small battery system used on e-bikes.

Beyond your obvious trolling: This is not easily solved.
There are technical reasons why the V2X community has "forgotten" about (motor)bikes for a while. Actually, they have not forgotten, but they know very well that the V2X standards don't work properly for motorcycles. To name just one reason steering angle cannot be used as a predictive indication of where a bike will go next. Cars relying on that info would draw very wrong conclusions and cause accidents instead of avoiding them.
