Every year, hundreds of millions of animals die in collisions with cars. For some species, road strikes are a major cause of population declines, and reducing collisions is a conservation priority. We suggest that the emergence of automated vehicles will provide new opportunities for the use of computerized animal warning systems and variable speed zones in areas (and times) of high collision risk—but only if conservation biologists play a role in the development and implementation of these vehicles on the road.

将保护生物学纳入自动车辆技术的开发中，以减少动物与车辆的碰撞

每年，数以亿计的动物在与汽车相撞时死亡。对于某些物种而言，道路罢工是人口减少的主要原因，减少碰撞是保护工作的重中之重。我们建议，无人驾驶汽车的出现将为在高碰撞风险地区（和时间）使用计算机化动物预警系统和变速区提供新的机会，但前提是保护生物学家必须在这些生物的开发和实施中发挥作用车辆在路上。
