A new helmet has been developed that focuses on increasing the safety of motorcycle riders. The helmet named Aegis Rider HUD, which has artificial intelligence support, can show all obstacles on the road. In addition, drivers can take the bends smoothly by following the created safe route line.
A group of engineers working at ETH Zurich said:Aegis Rider HUD“. This product, supported by artificial intelligence, aims to make the life of motorcycle drivers easier. If the developed project can become widespread, Similar to Tesla’s autopilot system We can easily say that it will start to be used in motorcycles.
The Aegis Rider HUD is basically a motorcycle helmet. The project team, which made this product that every motorcycle owner should use, smart, came up with a drive assistant took it out. Instantly mapping and calculating with artificial intelligence, the helmet allows the driver to constantly follow the obstacles in front of him and take the bends safely. Thanks to this system driver fault accidents thought to be preventable.

Developed by engineers artificial intelligence supported The driving aid is operated via the face visor section of the helmet. When drivers lower the visor of the helmet, they can continue to see their surroundings normally. However, the Aegis Rider HUD has some additions on top of normal vision. These additions include speed and slope information, as well as obstacles on the road and the most safe road line it automatically displays.

While the Aegis Rider HUD is quite impressive, as you can see in the video above it has some shortcomings looks like. For example, when you wear this helmet, your field of vision inevitably decreases due to the coloring. In addition, the created safe route is created only through calculations. It is not clear whether that route will cause an accident if the road is slippery. understandable case not.
