Five rules sit behind every screen. They decide why color is rare, why the cockpit never animates, and why some alerts are suppressed in some places. The screens are the rules applied.

each rule, then the proof from the cockpit itself →
1

Restraint over information

A cockpit you can read in half a second keeps your eyes on the road. The dashboard holds still. It never restructures, animates, or adds elements while you ride. Six fixed zones: safety strip, navigation, speed, trip stats, ambient stats, battery.

2

Color means threat

Green: radar working. Amber: hazard approaching. Red: vehicle closing fast. Critical: full screen. Nothing else on the cockpit uses color.

CalmRadar working, no threats
CautionHazard approaching, prepare
WarningVehicle closing fast, brace
CriticalImminent pass, hold line
The four threat states, in order of escalation.
3

Context-aware, not constant

A system that warns about every passing car is one the rider learns to ignore. Vehicle alerts are suppressed in protected lanes and re-engage in mixed traffic.

Protected laneVehicle alerts suppressed. Cyclist alerts and route warnings stay active.
Mixed trafficVehicle alerts active. Takeover needs all conditions to coincide.
Alert behaviour by infrastructure context.
4

No phone, no app

The phone stays in the pocket. No settings menu, no account. Stats sync over standard FIT files to wherever the rider already keeps their data.

5

Calm language

A panicking interface makes a panicking rider. The tone is a calm passenger pointing something out, not an alarm.

CautionCobblestones in 40 m, slow down
WarningVehicle closing fast, 42 m, 3 sec
Critical12 m, hold your line
The same voice across all four states.
