Don't forget a short-sleeve dress shirt and a thin tie.

Still, if they can successfully manufacture them, these look like a handy toy for anyone who navigates through cities a lot.

Haha I’m starting to think you work for these people! =P genuinely, that’s pretty cool. I don’t see it being worth $500 to me, but I would have been all over it 10 years ago when I rode everywhere in a city.

Never mind all the tech aspects….Would you/could you wear them inside your full helmet? Would it be more comfortable to go to an open face? What if you have a self darkening visor like I do on a couple of helmets. Will it be too dark if using both visor and glasses?
I’m very particular about which glasses I wear. The only ones I can stand to wear for long periods that have the lenses I prefer are Julbo’s.

There could be a chance after the first year of use, the companion app might be subscription-based.
... or perhaps any new features must be paid for.
One example that comes to mind: Incorporate traffic statistics into the map routing.

Looks like after the first year of app usage, the subscription commences at $1.90 U.S. per month.

Maybe that's where they're going to build the factory.
