Team Radio
F1-style push-to-talk for 2-5 riders with AI situational awareness.
Creating a Team Ride
- Tap Team Ride on the home screen
- Share the invite link with your group (up to 4 others)
- Recipients tap the link — name entry only, no registration required
- Everyone sees who’s in the waiting room
- Host taps Start Ride
Squeeze-to-Talk
During the ride, squeeze your AirPods to talk to the group. This is the only physical interaction during riding.
- Squeeze = open mic
- 10-second auto-timeout = mic closes automatically
- Rider voice pauses all AI = human always takes priority
This is F1 Team Radio style — intentional, not always-on.
AI Situational Awareness
The AI monitors all riders’ positions and broadcasts team events to everyone:
| Event | Trigger | Priority | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team Split | >50m gap, >20s, both moving | 2 | ”Team split. Lee 120m behind.” |
| Team Regroup | Gap less than 10m | 5 | ”Team regrouped.” |
| Rider Stopped | Speed=0, >60s, others moving | 1 | ”Jake stopped. 200m away.” |
Traffic Light Filter
Urban riding creates false splits when riders get separated at traffic lights. Ride Director’s traffic light filter detects:
- Both/all riders stationary — suppress split detection
- One stationary + others below 10 km/h — suppress
This filter eliminated 6 false splits in a 12-minute urban segment during testing.
The Core Principle
The weakest rider never gets left behind.
When the team splits, the AI always reports the position of the last person. The strongest riders hear where the slowest rider is. The slowest rider hears the group is ahead.
No one rides alone without knowing where their team is.
