”In 2011 I was walking in Orlando and was hit by an SUV, which resulted in a herniated disc. This still effects me everyday. Since that day I was always paranoid crossing the streets. Thanks to oko I gained a much higher confidence level that I haven’t felt in years.

​

This is an absolute game changer for our safety”
