CHINA food delivery platform Ele.me has unveiled a new smart helmet designed for the millions of delivery riders who can frequently be seen dashing through traffic to deliver packages, reports Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
The helmet, promoted by the company during the World Internet Conference held in Wuzhen recently, is fitted with software sensors to ensure road safety for riders, said the company.
According to Alibaba-backed Ele.me, while the helmet looks and feels similar to a standard piece of equipment, it is packed with barometric, pressure and gravity sensors that can monitor a rider's posture, and automatically reach emergency contacts in the event of an accident.
Thanks to AI-empowered voice interaction capabilities provided by the DAMO Academy, an Alibaba research institute, riders using the helmet can also answer customer calls hands-free and en route to a destination. Ele.me said it has been testing the gear in Shanghai since the end of last year.
