Radar and Camera

[HPE18]

I just watched the latest video interview with MotorTrend. Saul presented some great information there. The discussion made me think of a follow up question for Saul regarding safety.

One of the biggest cycling game changers for me personally has been the Garmin Varia radar. Knowing when a vehicle is approach from behind without turning your head is critical, especially when cycling fast. Of course TM-B owners will be able to buy a Varia and find some way to mount it to the TM-B, but has there been any discussion regarding an integration of third party products into the head unit, or an Also developed radar?

Along the same lines, having an integrated camera would add peace of mind when out on the roads with cars. Having footage in the event of a collision could be critical.

Part of the TM-B draw as a car replacement is the integration. You don't have to charge lights and a head unit separately.Adding integration for these additional products would be amazing.

Is there a place on this forum for a wish list, these are great ideas.

If you put a camera in front, you could also put a camera that shows on the screen what's behind you, maybe easier to respond to than radar

[edit]
Also, if I am wishing I wish the pedals were a little in front of the rider so that the same seat position for riding worked for standing over the bike while seated, like all my former bikes.

And what's with the brakes? So grabby, it's hard not to stop short, you don't want grabby front brakes, you might go over the handlebars. I get that if I lightly pull the brakes I get regen, which I am ALL about, but I can't find the position where JUST regen is happening. Why don't they make it so that when you peddle backwards regen is activated, right now that doesn't do ANYTHING, which is a waste.
