Lumos Matrix Smart Helmet Opinions

So, recently I came across a strange product on the web. It's a smart helmet. For bikes! I mean is it really necessary? Its functionality includes glowing the brake signal and the turn signals on the helmet for the traffic to see. I think that's pretty much it. It probably has 1 or 2 more features. But considering it costs around $250 is it really worth it? Do we really need it?
