Everyone may have seen such a scene on the street: the rider brother drives with one hand and answers the phone with the other hand, which makes people look straight and say a word of danger! And now, the smart helmet with Bluetooth calling function is coming.
Recently, Ele.me piloted smart helmets in Shanghai, and hundreds of knights have received the latest helmets. This helmet is no different in size and weight from the ordinary helmet, but it is equipped with a chip, sensor and Bluetooth.
Q1: What are the new features of this helmet?
Compared with ordinary helmets, where is the "intelligence" of smart helmets?
Answer and receive calls
According to previous research, the helmet has built-in Bluetooth, microphone, and order-taking operation through voice commands, which is the highest-voice function of riders, which can effectively reduce the safety hazards caused by operating mobile phones during cycling.
After connecting the helmet Bluetooth with a mobile phone, the rider can communicate with the customer through the built-in microphone of the helmet, receive the phone without pulling out the mobile phone, and use the voice to take orders and other operations.
Chen Yanxia, head of the operation department of Hungry Knight, introduced:
In order to improve the accuracy of speech recognition, the smart helmet is equipped with an independent noise reduction control chip, which can make speech recognition more accurate after reducing environmental noise. In addition to Mandarin, smart helmets can also recognize instructions in a variety of dialects, such as Northeast Andhoku and Cantonese.
In addition, there is a dedicated chip for smart noise reduction. Even a speed of 60 km /h can filter out noise of more than 1 meter.
Wear detection and collision detection
With built-in sensors, smart helmets can perform wear detection and collision detection.
Wear detection can identify whether the knight is wearing the helmet correctly, ensuring "one helmet and one belt". And when encountering an impact, the smart helmet will issue a prompt, in a dangerous situation, one-click call to emergency contacts.
According to reports, the helmet meets the national GB811-2010 standard, and the indicators of stiffness, stability, penetration resistance, and absorption of collision energy have passed safety tests.
Helmet lenses are anti-fogging
The helmet lenses took a rider's proposal to use a more scratch-resistant, fog-resistant material.
Smart helmet experience designer Chen Peiming said:
Previously, a knight suggested that wearing a mask in winter, helmet lenses are easy to fog, which will affect the line of sight. By making a nano-coating on the mirror surface, whether it is in the rain or alternating between hot and cold, the lens will never rise a white mist again.
Automatic warning light
In addition, the smart helmet also has a built-in warning light, if the rider brakes or to the point where there is no street light, the side lights of the helmet will automatically flash, and the warning will be automatically opened to enter the tunnel to improve riding safety.
More functional testing
At present, it is also testing the interconnection of smart helmets with rider order-taking software to expand more functions.
For example, the use of AI intelligent voice assistant to answer the rider's daily questions; when encountering abnormal situations such as not being able to contact the user, help the knight automatically report by identifying whether to call the user's phone, etc., without manually submitting an application.
Q2: What are the riders' feelings and expectations?
Hundreds of Shanghai riders were the first to use the new smart helmet, what kind of feelings and experiences did they have?
Strong battery life
A single charge can take up to three days.
The ears don't hurt anymore and it's easy to make phone calls
Originally plugged a day to plug 6-8 hours bluetooth headset + hanging mask, the ear is very devastating.
Anti-fog is practical
In the past, when the lenses fogged, they chose not to wear a helmet.
I hope that the Bluetooth coverage material is softer
It will be more comfortable to wear.
Wish it was breathable better
Running singles are easy to sweat, and I hope that the helmet can help wick away sweat.
Q3: Price and follow-up rollout plan?
How do riders get this helmet, and will it be rolled out to all riders on a large scale?
The first batch of pilot cities in Shanghai
Smart helmets have been piloted nationwide, Shanghai is the first batch of pilot cities, in the form of targeted invitations, hundreds of riders have received free smart helmets, but also invited them to test feedback on helmet functions.
Open for purchase years later
Smart helmet purchases will be opened up in the next year, and about 100,000 smart helmets are planned to be released nationwide this year.
Summer helmets are less than 50 yuan and winter helmets are less than 100 yuan
After the future open purchase, the platform will subsidize each smart helmet to ensure that the price of smart helmets is the same as the price of existing ordinary helmets.
The materials and production processes of summer helmets and winter helmets are different, and the price itself will have certain differences.
Will ordinary helmets be forced to be eliminated?
According to their actual delivery needs, if you like to use ordinary helmets, you can use ordinary helmets, and if you want to try smart helmets, you can use smart helmets.
Q4: What smart devices will be given to riders in the future?
In the process of knight running a single, there are the most important nodes, that is, the integration of helmets, cars, electricity and lunch boxes.
At present, the takeaway platform is building an integrated intelligent equipment to optimize the consumer experience while improving the safety of riders.
In addition to smart helmets, this year will also launch smart lunch boxes, APP real-time communication, temperature prompt lights, temperature recognition intelligent modules, meal box false opening alarms, cold and heat intelligent temperature control, built-in meal lighting, built-in UV sterilization module, food safety is more secure.
In addition, there will be other smart equipment to meet the riders.
