Helbiz Launches AI Helmet Selfie Feature To Promote Safe Riding

Helbiz Inc HLBZ has pitched a technology and safety solution to promote the use of helmets. Helbiz will first roll out the new feature in Miami and plans to implement it across markets soon.
The new artificial intelligence and facial recognition feature will require users to take a selfie of themselves wearing a helmet to unlock and ride an e-scooter or earn an incentive.
Helmets will be attached to each scooter for added convenience and accessibility and will also be available for free online.
The company has partnered with several local restaurants and cafes in Brickell, Downtown, and Coconut Grove to provide free helmets.
The City of Miami's new regulations will now permit e-scooter riding during the reduced hours of 6 am-9 pm ET.
Price Action: HLBZ shares are trading higher by 0.15% at $8.09 on the last check Wednesday.
