Smart helmets are becoming a thing in the motorcycle industry, but has anyone been able to wrap their head around the concept yet? FortNine’s video illustrates why the concept is “so dumb,” except for one product which is a great helmet on its own, made better by some useful baked-in tech.
Most experienced motorcyclists will still take a traditional helmet over a smart one and slap on a Cardo, Sena, or any other communications device to give their lid some modern features and other functions. Personally, I’d much rather put my head in a helmet that was only designed to be a helmet, then slap on the smart stuff later but even then it’s not so clear cut.
