Great idea for solo riders but I know what the wife looks like in her helmet

Certainly worth a thought. Bit concerned that it might be a bit distracting. I wonder if you have any means of turning it off, if, say the sun is low and behind

Where do you look to see the rear view mirror. If it is a panel like what is shown in the ad, I think I'd find that distracting/disorienting. While you are looking forward objects in front would be moving one direction, while those in the mirror are going another!!!

errr ........no way of turning it off i dont think as its a mirror,i cant remember what the video said now but it is a step in the right direction i think anyway, as for pillion they state the pillion tends to sit to one side to see past the rider so you should still be able to see traffic behind, and yes at first it is a little strange but you soon get use to it.

That's a big assumption that the pillion always looks over one side of you. Most bikes the pillion sits higher than the rider, so even if they do lean to one side your still going to have most of your view blocked . This is made for solo riders on tourers not lean forward sports bikes.
Me thinks this has been designed by non bikers. Who have thought of a problem that really don't exist, or have a solution ( a rear view mirror) and looked for a problem to use it.

Had a look into this it makes no difference what type of bike you ride, even on a sports bike the helmet would be still facing in the correct direction/angle for the system to work.
