A smart LED light and app that can be added to bike/motorcycle helmets.

Cosmo Connected, a French startup, unveiled its new Cosmo Bike module for enhanced rider safety. Fully equipped with a multi-function light and turn signals, this helmet add-on helps make bike journeys safer. In addition to LED's, it can detect falls and warn friends, family and emergency responders of an accident. The 8 LEDs (4 red and 4 yellow) use an internal light diffusion system to boosts light visibility. Mounted on the back of most any helmet, the light module offers several features. A deceleration light level shows the rider is slowing down and an always-on position light acts as a helmet rear light. All the Bike lighting modes are directly configurable from the app. If the rider is involved in an accident, Cosmo Bike incorporates a fall detector linked directly to the Cosmo app, which locates the rider precisely by GPS and notifies family members or friends that there has been an accident. This family and friends alert service is free and a standard basic function of the app. Riders can also sign up for an optional service that will notify emergency responders automatically to ensure a fast first-aid response regardless of circumstances. Fall 2018. The spokesperson in the video (link below) said the new model was going to be just $59.00, but since the current model without the turn signals is $119.00, I'm not sure he's totally correct, so check their website once the new device is up there.
