China's War on Mosquitoes Enters the Era of Artificial Intelligence
A Chinese startup claims to be able to track and destroy flying mosquitoes using sensors developed for autonomous cars.
The system uses technologies present in autonomous cars to locate targets and artificial intelligence to determine when it is safe to fire.
The device, which costs $1,000, uses a laser to burn the wings of mosquitoes, making them unable to fly.
However, there is a potential safety issue, as the laser could cause damage to human eyes.
