As a commuting cyclist I regularly get close passed by cars, its very annoying and dangerous so I thought I would create my own system of recording these events. I decided to use an existing Pi Zero coupled with a Waveshare UPS hat to provide portability. The mini time of flight laser sensor gives me 0 to 7m plenty of distance for what I need, I modified the example that came with the TOF to only record passes that contravene the legal minimum and now have a working prototype, at the moment it records a timestamp and distance in mm. The Mini TOF works very well and is easy to configure.
