Interesting mostly because they are targeting ebike owners ... we have very different needs than car drivers and I am glad to see someone recognize that.

It seems like a step up from Garmin’s Varia which doesn’t differentiate between vehicles and other cyclists. However, the article doesn’t go into depth as to what other, if any, metrics show up on the handlebar mounted display as exemplified by Garmin’s Edge series.

Garmin Varia warns me urgently about trucks passing on the interstate 8 lanes away though a chain link fence. Garmin Varia warns me about cars approaching a stop sign on a cross street I passed 50 m ago. Useless. I only turn it on to use the red flashing light at night. Maybe this new product isn't such a crybaby.
