Strictly Street Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Self-driving cars have quickly moved from a far-out idea to a here-and-now reality. Now one German automaker has built a self-driving motorcycle — one that can start, accelerate, steer and brake to stop, all without a rider. No one is looking to fill the roads with riderless motorcycles. Rather, BMW sees its autonomous motorcycle as a test bed for technologies that would improve the safety and handling of conventional motorcycles. “We want to teach the motorcycle how to ride a bike,” said Stefan Hans, the engineer who leads the self-driving motorcycle project for BMW Motorrad, the company's motorcycling division. https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/bmw-teaching-motorcycle-drive-itself-so-it-can-help-save-ncna910801 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 There have been 7 movies off the top of my head that have already explained why this kind of shit is a bad idea. 6 of them are in the same series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it doesnt start getting people on motorcycles, that shouldn't ever be on a motorcycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
