Connected Car
Australian network, Telstra, are harnessing 5G technology to protect cyclists with a new connected bike helmet, full of safety gear. 5G-enabled prototypePartnering with Australian cycling start-up, Arenberg, Telstra has created a connected bike helmet prototype that is 5G-enabled. The connected bike helmet prototype works by gathering a range of data, and meshing it together with data gleaned from connected cars around the rider, connected infrastructure and nearby road cameras. This information is then fed to a rider through a speaker in the helmet to provide real-time safety information, alerts and warnings. With the connected helmet, when a driver or passenger opens their door, real-time video from the bike helmet is sent over 5G and analysed in a cloud platform, where the opening car door hazard is identified.
