I have been a daily transportation motorcyclist for more than 30 years, as well as a practicing motojournalist.

The safest motorcycle helmets are the ones that provide proper, tested ability to absorb foreseeable impacts, comfort, a wide field of vision, and the lowest sound pressure levels, which allow the motorcyclist to concentrate on the job of identifying and reacting to actual, real time safety threats.

While I appreciate the technological achievement that the Scully represents, my experience with motorcyclists and motorcycle crash data suggests that additional information competing for the attention of the motorcyclist will only have the net effect of diminishing the rider's available attention and hence, safety performance. All forms of 'infotainment' on motorcycles have similar effects. Performance motorcycling is a 100% focused, immersive experience. If additional information is required, the time to obtain it is when the stands are on the pavement.

Introduction of infotainment and telematics systems into 4 wheeled vehicles have caused a rapid rise in the number of single vehicle accidents and high speed impacts where drivers never reacted to avoidable obstacles. If it's a bad idea in cars, it's a worse idea on bikes.
