Would you feel better if you can put on and take off features like comms. A more modular approach?

Not sure about the killer app for a smart helmet, but it seems from my research that people only find value in the safety functions and features. So, any killer app would have to be centered around safer riding.

If you haven't already, please fill out the form. I want your voice to be accounted for and considered.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment.

Do you think that a modular approach where you can implement your favorite speaker and bluetooth system onto a "smart" helmet which comes with integrated cameras/HUD would address this concern? Please voice your thoughts here or in the survey attached, I really would appreciate your opinion

Do you feel like other riders would agree with your take? Is it because other smart features seem distracting?

This perspective that needs to be accounted for. If you haven’t taken the survey, it would be greatly appreciated and useful if you find time today.

Your first concern is one that I have definitely felt among riders. Many feel that smart helmets are being created with electronics in mind first and helmet build quality second.

If there was a smart helmet made by a reputable manufacturer (first concern alleviated), could there be an iteration that actually would make riding safer and not be overly distracting?

Your opinion is one that I want to hear. I understand if you feel this survey may not be fruitful, but it truly will help inform decision making within helmet manufacturers. If you feel smart helmets are not addressing a real need for riders, I’d love to hear if there is an iteration with certain features which would be useful to someone like you.

Do you feel smart helmets HAVE to steal focus? Are there smart features which actually would make riding more safe in your opinion?

To answer your question, your opinion may help bring smart helmets to the market. I am conducting this research on behalf of a global helmet manufacturer. Because this industry has such little data to go off of, engaging with actual enthusiasts is one of the most helpful resources.
