Copilot is an AI-enhanced bike light and camera created to improve cyclist safety. It actively observes the area behind the rider, using AI to determine when a vehicle passes safely or to highlight potentially unsafe drivers approaching.

Copilot uses audible alerts to communicate its findings, notifying the cyclist of any vehicle that is approaching or passing. When used with a smartphone, Copilot can also provide visual alerts.

To further alert drivers, it changes its light patterns and colors to attract the driver's attention to the cyclist, acting proactively to avoid potential accidents.

Beyond lighting and alerts, Copilot records ride data and video. It also features predictive risk analysis to assess driver behavior, helping cyclists to ride more safely and avoid crashes.

The main goal is to improve cyclist situational awareness, increasing their confidence and safety while riding.
