Google Smart Jackets for Cyclists

Google apparently started venturing into the realm of fashion. In the event Google I / O yesterday, Googgle along with Levi's created a sophisticated jacket specially for the cyclists.

Jacquard project called Project is the creation of Google ATAP (Advanced Technology and Projects). This jacket allows users to manage music, answering telephone calls, and to access the navigation on smartphones.

Levi's stated reason for making this jacket is for the safety of the cyclists. As is known, many cyclists are busy playing a cell phone while driving. It is certainly very dangerous.

By using these tapes, the cyclist simply use the arm to the right to give orders. Because, in this jacket is already embedded motion sensor.

"We face unique challenges in making this jacket. It is difficult to combine fashion with technology," said Ivan Poupyrev, one of Google's engineering teams.

Until now, there has been no official confirmation from the related Google release. Similarly, as quoted from TechCrunch, Sunday (22/05/2016).
