According to Fraunhofer, further development of the 'Sporty Supaheroe' should also make it possible for cyclists wearing the jacket to signal to other road users when they want to turn using flashing lights. The researchers also believe it will be possible in future to use the cycling jacket to protect personal valuables from theft, measure body and environmental data or navigate through the city with the jacket. The area in which the jacket is to be sold is fashion and premium sportswear. The price level for a jacket in this area is expected to be between €1,000 and €2,000.
