Action camera maker GoPro first indicated interest in public in smart helmet tech in 2024, when it bought Forcite. In 2025, it’s moving forward on smart helmet development.

    I can’t wait for this to cost a mint, have a mandatory smartphone app that spies on you and without which the helmet will have features intentionally crippled, and have a battery life of 12 minutes but that’s okay because it overheats in 11. These sterling features are already found in the latest GoPro cameras, so I can’t see why a helmet with one of the damn things built into it will be any different.

    This will be a hard pass from anyone with a brain.
