Rear facing wireless camera + display inside helmet = a Reevu helmet that needs batteries.

It's not an insane idea in principle. My Drift Stealth already streams wirelessly, albeit with exactly the amount of lag that would get you killed up a treat. Sticking a teeny screen on a stick isn't rocket science.
In practice, I doubt they'll get the pre-orders necessary to go into production. I'd expect to see feature creep appearing soon. Speed reading. Safety camera warning. Demisting heater. Mounting it on the outside of the visor, on a track, with a rubber wiper on it... ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I don't get it.
Personally, mirrors and turning my head allow a sufficient field of view.
But for those inclined to want a camera, surely mounting something to the bike directly would be better?

A solution to a problem no one asked for.
Has anyone noticed how cars where there are far less packaging concerns still have mirrors? If it was a real safety concern how are there not many more accidents in cars and some bright spark hasn't thought to replace those dangerous mirrors first? ____________________ My Flickr |

I can see the possible benefits - especially on more extreme sports bikes and so on.
However, not a new idea and for many years you've been able to buy a helmet with an integrated rear view mirror... one with much lower latency that works at the SPEED OF LIGHT!

That looks like a much better idea. I'm surprised nobody already mentioned it in the first sentence. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
