Rivian's e-bike brand drops a smart helmet to boost rider safety

Auto

Rivian's e-bike division, Also, just rolled out the Alpha Wave Helmet—a smart helmet packed with headlights and brake lights to help riders stand out on the road.
With e-bike accidents becoming more common, this techy upgrade aims to make commuting safer and a bit smarter.

What makes the Alpha Wave helmet special?

The helmet features a Release Layer System for extra impact protection and a HighBar System for a comfy fit.
You also get built-in speakers and noise-canceling mics for music, calls, or navigation—all while riding.
Weighing just over a pound and charging via USB-C, it's priced at $250 and could set the bar higher for both e-bike and motorcycle helmets going forward.
