Samsung has developed "a new concept of safety on two wheels": the Smart Windshield for motorcycles.

The high-tech screen syncs with your mobile device to report incoming calls and texts, highlight GPS navigation, and provide other notifications—"so you can keep both hands on the handlebar."

Texting-while-driving seems like less of a problem for motorcycle riders than car operators; after all, you can't exactly steer a hog with your knees. But Samsung looks to be getting out ahead of the issue, hoping to fend off dangerous driving before it occurs.

Of course, adding flashing lights and moving animations to the rider's field of view doesn't sound like the best way to do that. But the company says its panel displays information in large type, and allows the motorist to respond with an automated SMS message.

"From now on, to check your smartphone while out riding, you only need to look ahead," Samsung's video says.

The Smart Windshield is only a concept, and not a finalized product for sale. Based on some early feedback, maybe it should stay that way.

"Checking your emails/notifications while riding a bike = death," YouTube user VyperVPN wrote in a comment below the Samsung Italia clip.

"Jesus Christ, the last thing you need is for your focus to be taken off the road especially when you're on a bike," Ryan Clemens wrote in agreement.

But some folks seem keen on easy-to-read navigation—a perk not usually reserved for motorcyclists. But receiving incoming calls and texts while navigating traffic is not a popular idea.

"I wish this was a joke, but I'm afraid we are evolving to this level of stupid," Dino de Almeida said in a comment. "What about keeping your phone in your pocket and [checking] it while stopped? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that people will get killed because of this."

Samsung did not immediately respond to PCMag's request for comment.
