Samsung presents a new concept of safety on two wheels – Smart Windshield

Samsung Italy and Yamaha have announced their collaboration to add a smartphone-connected display to the windshield of a motorcycle. The Smart Windshield concept will display notifications like calls and texts on a head-up display on the screen, with the software designed to be hands-free. This is being undertaken as nearly 25 percent of motorcycle accidents in Italy involve smartphones.

The windshield pairs up with the smartphone wirelessly and shows call or SMS notifications, incoming emails, messages and more and this aims at reducing distractions to the rider.

The screen is transparent and located low on the windshield so it doesn’t obscure the rider’s vision. It connects through wi-fi and has a dedicated app to relay information. This will also show directions to the user with the help of GPS.

Samsung is developing this technology as part of its global Launching People communication project and Yamaha has offered its Tricity scooter as the test vehicle. While it’s still a concept, Samsung is hopeful that the concept could be the future of safer motorcycle riding.
