Samsung has teamed up with Giovanni Pelizzoli—an
amazingly talented frame builder—to create a bike which uses a
smartphone, combined with onboard sensors and devices, to try and keep
you safe.
Unveiled
at a show in Milan, the bicycle is centered around a curved frame which
is designed to reduce the road buzz that gnarly city streets can
create. Tucked away within that frame is a raft of technology, though.
There are four laser beams to create a personal bike lane on the road at
night; an integrated GPS system; even a rearview camera. An Arduino
ties all this together, and spews it out to handlebar-mounted device to
show directions, say, or the feed from the rear view camera.
