Abstract: The invention is an apparatus comprising a GPS based electronic device mounted on a helmet. This device can detect the rider's speed at any given time and automatically control the windshield's position (open/close) based on the rider's preferences. In addition, the rider can override the automatic GPS mode by pressing a wireless button mounted on the motorcycle handlebar or an existing button on the helmet apparatus. The apparatus is a self contained unit that can be used in various applications. In the case of the motorcycle, the helmet has a feature enabling independent as well wireless handlebar controlled operation. However, as the helmet apparatus can function independently of the motorcycle, it can therefore be used for other types of vehicles requiring the use of an automatically controlled helmet windshield.
