Volvo is a famous vehicle manufacturer. In this field, it is necessary to innovate so as not to lose market share. That's why Volvo bet on a partnership with the sporting goods brand POC and with the famous electronics company, Ericsson to create a smart helmet for cyclists, which can connect to cars to avoid accidents
How does it work?
The helmet receives information from an application called Strava, which has integration with connected automotive systems. So drivers and cyclists will know when there is an imminent risk of collision. With this system, when a car is very close to a cyclist wearing a helmet, the red lights located on the helmet light up, signaling the cyclist's stop.
Obviously this technology is exclusive to brand cars Volvo. According to them:
no one should die or be seriously injured in a new Volvo in the year of 2020
