CrossHelmet: A Smart Helmet ... - GoldOxide_imp - 11-22-2018
Anybody see this? Interesting, but pricey.
CrossHelmet - the smart motorcycle helmet:

I gotta pass on that thing. My head is worth only about $550 USD

Think mine is worth less!
i can remember when Shoei S20 helmets were $40 each.

While the rear view camera seems like a good idea, to me, the permanent heads-up display may be more distracting than useful, especially at night with headlight glare. On my CB11, what is directly back in my lane is partially blocked by my forearms, an advantage at night.
I have many more close calls from vehicles merging or cutting in my lane than from behind, so am constantly glancing left and right. The heads-up display would not help me there, and would give a false sense of security.
And noise cancellation? I doubt it would be very effective unless it could completely cover your ears. My cheap foam earplugs do a remarkably good job. (btw -that's Yoshi Kosaka of Garage Company in the last part of the vid)

I think that your head is way overpriced !!!

Hey!
You’re probably right, sigh.

it's like a much better version of the Skully that was recently released.

popgun, I think Houtman is being really cheap saying that.
This helmet is way beyond my pocket, although I think it’s neat. I wonder though if the propaganda is right that the touchpad is on the right side of the helmet. If so, it would be difficult to operate on the move unless you had cruise control.

Leave it the Japanese to take the lead on things like this. A good Godzilla helmet, but maybe not for riding? In any case, noise cancelling is interesting, but I wonder what the long term effects it would be since there has got to be "sound leakage" in a helmet.
Love the responses here.
