Deep dives
BioFire is developing a smart gun to reduce gun violence
BioFire, a startup, aims to create a smart gun that can only be used by the owner's biometrics, making it impossible for unauthorized users to fire the weapon. The founder, Kai Klopfer, recognizes that the technology for smart guns has existed for some time, but previous attempts have not been reliable or commercially successful. The BioFire smart gun is designed to be locked by default, unlocking only when the owner's biometrics are recognized. The goal is to reduce accidental gun injuries and deaths, particularly among children and teenagers who may access firearms without permission. While BioFire faces the challenge of building trust and proving the reliability of their technology, they hope that smart guns will become more widely accepted and adopted in the future.
