BMW divulges the first images in action the first bike in autonomous driving. This is obviously a studio still far from mass production but that leaves stunned. Seeing is believing.
Let them rise up the shields, will raise the barriers, you inforchino… the forks! Vade Retro Satana!! A bike that drives itself? I read on your face the dismay! Even if it was no spoken a year ago when it was presented Honda Riding Assist, motion that was already standing alone and followed you like Fido. The images, however, disclosed in these hours from BMW leave stunned: you see a GS roam the circuit in total freedom worse than a mare in the wild!
It all happened in Miramas in the south of France on the occasion of BMW Motorrad Techday, an appointment created to show the main technological innovations of the German. In addition to the bike in autonomous driving, there was also the first motorcycle with a frame made entirely in 3D printing and other gadgets such as headlights that follow the trajectory of the vehicle and laser projectors.
what the motorcycles autonomous driving is a controversial topic, and perhaps even more that divides the electric propulsion. In this way BMW has done well to show this study on a GS. the purpose, as I said in the video, It is not to leave home motorcyclists, but getting to develop to the point where the electronic driving aids to make the pleasure of riding a bike safer than ever.
The goal is always to turn the bike in a certain subject.
Again, therefore, the motorcycle market follows what happens in the automobile and it is no coincidence that BMW is among the busiest car makers to do so. Certainly there was a know-how transfer, although staff engineer Stefan Hans has faced the much higher complexity than a vehicle to achieve this bike in autonomous driving.
We will not see soon on our bikes roads to go alone, but certainly what is developing slowly come into our bikes with more and more electronic and pace of traditionalists.
