SIX: A gesture-controlled bike signal light

In both cases the car driver mentioned they were unaware the cyclist was turning despite their hand signalling. No matter how the factors are analyzed, just shy of 40% of fatal bike accidents occur when the sun is down (in Toronto, Canada). Having a signal light both increases visibility and road confidence when it matters. Having a pocket-sized unit, which pairs with any wearable watch, allows you to keep the light close and ensure it's never lost. With funding, SIX will support many wearable devices; come with a gesture-recognition clip that sits on the seam of a jacket or shirt; and promises to notify when there's low battery, or when it falls out of range (or perhaps off of a bike).
