An idea for a rl company

[United Gordonopia]

I'm still in high school, but I like thinking of ideas for ways to be successful as an adult. For awhile, I've been thinking about forming a company that's a "safety company". Many of you probably know that American parents are often WAY over-protective. Hell, when I go to the lake near my house, there's a couple of families that make their little kids wear bicycle helmets in the water. I've come up with a few product ideas so far. I don't yet have names, but I've got the general idea. Here's the flagship product (I'll put up others later):

Helmets for the car: Now, the name probably threw some people off. This isn't just a normal helmet. The passenger model would have a screen that would go over the eyes, allowing you to plug in videos, music players, video games, etc. The driver model wouldn't have a screen. Of course, the main goal of the helmet would still be safety. The commercials would do things like have a guy in a wheelchair saying: "Hello, I'm a quadraplegic. Two years go, I got in a car accident that made me the way I am. I was wearing my seatbelt, and my air bag deployed. But with all of that, I will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life. If only I had worn a helmet."

So NSG, do you think this will work? Also, any product ideas? (I need one for ocean ships. I have one for skiing, and airplanes as well).

As an investor I would never put any money into a company that produces helmets for your run of the mill motorist as it's flagship product...

[Cannot think of a name]

You don't want the driver to see anything that isn't directly involved with what's ahead of them, so being able to view the other passenger's screens.

Mostly you'd have to prove that it matters enough for people to wear them.

Not to be mean, but I hope you fail because if it's effective eventually someone will try to make them mandatory.

Honestly, that is a horrible idea, and I think it will be the cause of accidents.

[NotRust]

BRB, going to the shop.

[Iron Chariots]

That sounds like an idea I would have while high.


... hypothetically speaking, of course.

[Wilgrove]

BRB, going to the shop.

Ahh Virtual Boy, how we have not missed you.

[Blouman Empire]

Sounds alright simply because it gives you a good way to view things, though that idea isn't new. There is no need for the safety bit though except to market it if you think that promoting a safety aspect will help boost sales.

And take off the bit where the driver can change and view every other screen being used by the passengers.

[United Gordonopia]

Ok, I'll take the part off about the screen. And most of you have said it's a bad idea, or no one would buy it, but think about it, with all of the over protective, "safety concerned" parents out there, this might sell pretty well.

The passenger model would have a screen that would go over the eyes, allowing you to plug in videos, music players, video games, etc. The driver model wouldn't have a screen, but would come with a screen that would attach to the dashboard, and with it you could view the screens of any of the passenger helmets in the car. Of course, the main goal of the helmet would still be safety.

I can think of nothing safer than a driver being distracted not just by driving and the usual dashboard stuff but also ALL of the screens of their passengers.

I have to say this is failful.

You do realize auto manufacturers design cars to resist accidents?

[Galloism]

Anyone else seeing a van full of people going down the road wearing giant helmets, blithely unaware that they're about to hit the back end of a truck and the car will crush like a tin can?

[Cosmopoles]

What does this helmet for cars offer that existing crash helmets don't already do?

If only I had worn a helmet."

so... a product that is designed to distract the driver is built with the purpose of safety? Mind if I put that idea right there among other like "Drivers who READ while driving" and "Drivers who TEXT while driving"?

now a helmet, plain and simple helmet, with options for a sunvisor... ok. that I can see. but trying to convince car drivers to wear a helmet when Motorcyclists don't...

I believe a few manufacturers beat you to that idea.

I'm never taking an acid trip now.

[Conserative Morality]

Horrible idea.

[Daemonicai]

You know what sucks? My grandfather had an idea that was absolutely brilliant, but a man went on Dragon's Den with exactly the same idea, got the investments and is now a multi-millionare. Too slow, Grand-Dad, too slow.

[Rhodmhire]

Meh. I'd invest.

Just to see where the road would take me.

It might end up being pretty fun.

Or a horrid failure.

Aww. Who wants a wittle hug.

[LOL ANARCHY NUBZ]

You know what would be better? A property company...for Mars.

As a "safety concerned" parent, your idea is bullshit and I wouldn't buy it. Also, what kind of fucktard puts a helmet on their kid when they're swimming?!

"oh, hey! I got an idea, lets make their head HEAVIER before we put them in the water"

brilliant.

In case you swim into a light pole, duh.

Maybe things are different down here in flyover land, but our water is just water.......ain't no poles* around.
