Default High Tech Helmet

Had to happen sooner or later. With all today's gadgets and gizmos I'm actually surprised it took this long. Doubt I will be a customer especially at $1k+, but it's pretty cool and I do like technology. Probably be the standard 20 years from now.

It looks very George Jetson-ish. But very much out of my price range.

Very interested, especially the rear view part. It is going to cost a pretty penny IMO though.

I'm surprised that someone at Harley didn't think about a rear view camera as part of the new infotainment system.

A good Arai helmet is crowing $1000 these days isn't it? I'd be worried how long all those gizmos would work.

Yeah, that fin on the back is a little goofy looking. Gotta stow the camera and electronics somewhere though. 1st generation so if it becomes a viable, saleable product I'm sure future generations will get tweaked.

Guess that eliminates the need for side mirrors, but I don't think I'd like being distracted with any kind of HUD on a motorcycle. My eyes already have their hands full... uh.. yeah.
