  I think we'd first need the problems associated with the current design of helmet so that we can think about solving them.

  Personally, I faced many issues while wearing a helmet in a traffic. Is'nt really required while peak traffic hours?. I drove my bike in 10km/hr (1or2 gear). And also the temperature is more than 99deg F. I feel my head was boiled like an egg.
  
  Peoples behind you always thinks to overtake if there is a 1' or 2' gap in your left or right. They dont bother about you. I can't fully identify using my mirrors.
  I want these features in my helmets.
  

  • Airflow.
  • Rear view mirror.
  • 
    
  • Anti Glar Visor.
  • Inbuilt bluetooth headset (attend only for important calls)

  I don't understand your expecttion. I dont think we need a inbuilt bluetooth headset mounted on a helmet because If you have a call, slow down your vehicle on the road side and attend you call.I accept that it may be useful for the co passengers who were wearing the helmet but I dont think people who were travelling along with driver wear helmet .How to increase the airflow without weakening the helmet's strength?

  I am talking about using helmet in traffic is very very bad.
  What i said is i need a button or something which is fitted in my helmet to attend the phone calls while in traffic. In traffic can you find the place to attend the call?
  Similar like a car. you can answer your call from a button mounted in steering.
  I knew that using mobile while driving is dangerous.

  I am not convinced yet but its your perception and interest so I can't make a advice/suggestion on it.I am also against that handsfree system in cars.

  Only one thing I feel really needed to bate the heat and traffic in Summer in Chennai Roads,
  

  • Purely radiative material with no internal reflection
    
  • Visor to have Sun ban glasses (This could even block the glaring headlights from other vehicles)
  • Easily washable inner material That is the inner cotton or what ever lining must easy to remove and remount This is to maintain hygiene of the rider
    
  • Clasp in helmets need redesigning cos they can cause serious damage to riders in accident scenarios
