Improving Motorcycle Safety?
#12
None of the proposed features have anything to do with safety. Helmets don't need texting abilities, voice commands, fuel gauges or gear indicators.
You shouldn't be reading texts while your supposed to be watching out for all of the other drivers (who are looking down reading their texts).

Thanks again for all the suggestions and big thanks to everyone who took the survey.
Just to clear a few things up, this is just one of a few surveys that I have conducted, this one pertaining more to some of the potential elements of the HUD interface and some tech features that may or may not be in the final iteration. The actual interface will more than likely not contain everything mentioned in the survey, it was to see what people are currently using/would be interested in. This allows me to think about how to design a safer way for people to use the current tech that they do now. Just because I asked about it in the survey does not necessarily mean that it will be implemented or that I am sold on the idea.
I have since decided to forgo the HUD portion of my project and instead focus on improving visibility for riders via the helmet. Which was an overwhelming concern amongst riders.

More questions about music, than safety.

Motorcycles are not like cars. There isn't anything else that can be done. No 'crumple zones,' or dash boards that are 'face friendly.'
Inherently they can be dangerous. And are dangerous, compared to a car.
It is what it is, and they are what they are...
Most bikers understand this, and accept this risk.
