Can you elaborate on exactly what's wrong here, now that you know more about the implementation? Are you sure this isn't a case of getting the wrong impression about what it is because Vice said so? It's not a safety issue, the vest will notify whether it's working before the ride.

The irony of your statement here is that KLIM is offering an expensive product for a half price down payment, and allowing the consumer to cancel it after trying it out without having to return the hardware or pay any penalties on the remainder. Or they can resume payments a year after lapsing. You don't find this kind of presumably money-losing proposition with any other financing plans I can think of.
- Swenrekcah 6y agoYou may be right, according to what you’ve said about it then it seems that maybe this company actually did design this thing properly. What I’m having a visceral reaction to is the generally wasteful idea of a physical product being rendered useless via software is being applied to a safety critical product. Like I said, even if these people got it right, it’s only a matter of time before someone doesn’t.
