Buying a motorcycle helmet is not a big deal: if you ride, you know that it needs to be comfortable, have a protective visor and, most importantly, provide a study exterior that will protect you from impact without being too heavy.
If you want any other accessories, such as a microphone or a camera, those are things you can fit yourself. Any of you riders remember the headaches you get from trying to find the right tech gear to fit in or on your helmet? Well worry no more, because those headaches are about to go away. For a price, of course.
Taiwanese company Jarvish introduced what they claim to be the world’s smartest helmet we have to date.

Jarvish is launching the helmet in two versions: the X entry level and the X-AR. Both of them come with an exterior shell made out of carbon fiber and are up to date with the CNS, DOT and ECE 22.05 standards.
The X model has a 2K front camera with a speaker and microphone set, to begin with, but it also benefits from voice-activated commands via Alexa, active noise cancellation and built-in navigation.
It’s sister, the X-AR offers AR projection, a backup camera, a retractable head-up display unit that offers you information about your speed, the speed limits in the area, the time, the weather and GPS instructions. It can connect to Alexa, Siri or the Google Assistant.
Both helmets come with a four hour battery life and a 16GB memory card that can be upgraded to 256GB.
At the moment, the helmets are available via Kickstarter and the first 150 pledges will receive the X version for $399 while the X-AR will be hitting the shelves with a price tag of $1,599. If you want to grab it for cheaper, you can pledge $899 and grab it for quite the discount!
The helmets are expected to be delivered in April 2019 with free shipping for the U.K and the U.S.
