Cycling is a difficult task in the city’s traffic congestion. In Europe alone, in the year 2000 and in the US in 2018, 820 people are killed in accidents.
To remedy this, Emoji jacket are now made which tell the condition of the bicyclist on one side and contact the drivers on the other.
The jacket is made by company Ford motors. European cargo companies emphasize approval and need for this jacket under the ‘Share the road‘ campaign in Europe.
The LEDs illuminate on it, forming an impression or emoji and alerts the rear driver of the bicyclist.
Emoji expresses the wearer’s affections in many ways, such as a smiling face showing off a rider while a sad face suggests that the cyclist is currently irritated.

Emoji prove our language and expression. We express facial expressions, happiness, sorrow or anger through emojis. Through this invention of the Ford Company, cyclists can inform others of their mood or status.
However, this LED Emoji jacket is currently in the testing phase and Ford has not announced a date to bring it to market.
