And the data is being used to create a system of radar and cameras that can detect kangaroos and apply the brakes if a collision is imminent.
The use of radar seems great for this problem and a key advantage that driverless cars can have over humans—the incorporation of sensors that aren't just vision-based.

The car can be more dangerous than a weapon. There are countries where the number of people killed in traffic accidents is higher than in countries at war

So... what you're saying is that we should put weapons on the cars to deal with the kangaroos? I can be on board with that.

No, I didn't want to say that at all. Cars are dangerous and can take people or animals life. It's important to drive safely and to have features that might help, it is nice.

@Andrew - No judgement in brainstorming! :P
