From DW REV – Cars & Mobility.

Millions of animals are killed on roads every year — from deer and wild boar in Europe to elephants in Asia. Wildlife collisions are rising globally, causing immense animal suffering, human fatalities and billions in damage. But why is the problem getting worse?
This film follows what happens after a crash, how drivers should react, and why today’s cars can detect children — but often fail to recognise animals. From wildlife bridges and driver training to radar, cameras and AI, we investigate whether high‑tech could finally reduce roadkill — or whether modern mobility is still failing nature.
What does safer mobility really mean when roads cut through animal habitats worldwide? Join the discussion and share your thoughts.
