The Smartest Motorcycle Helmet in the World, the Skully AR-1.
If you are a true motorcycle enthusiast, then look out for this new helmet set to release in May, with a price tag of US$1,500. You may be wondering why this head protection gear is so expensive. Well, according to digitaltrends.com, "Don’t let the looks of a traditional full-face motorcycle helmet fool you; inside the DOT/ECE certified shell, wearers get intelligent audio — helmet-to-helmet communication, hands-free calling, and music streaming — and GPS navigation via Bluetooth to a cell phone, in addition to a wide-angle rear view camera that shows up on a transparent heads-up display built into the visor (fog, scratch, and glare resistant, of course)." (Barnwell, 2015, para. 3). While this is a great technological advancement, we have to keep in mind, the many distractions, and subsequent accidents that this helmet may cause. Also, does this helmet remind you of something? I do not know about you, nut it certainly reminds me of Google Glass (it is like a motorcyclist's version of Google Glass).

This is a very unique piece of innovation. However I think this may just cause a lot of problems. This would serve as a distraction for the user riding a bike requires tremendous amount of focus such an apparatus would cause chaos that is my opinion.
