BMW Motorrad Vision Next 100 Concept
BMW Motorrad Vision Next 100 Concept
On Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., BMW Group debuted a motorcycle
concept so artificially intelligent that it eliminates the need for the
rider to wear protective gear, including a helmet.
So what does the future of motorcycles hold?
At least according to BMW, it's a bike that has self-balancing systems
to keep it upright both when standing (a boon for novice riders, on par
with training wheels for bicycles) and in motion (beneficial for
experienced riders who want erudite handling at high speed). Several
systems—one BMW calls a “Digital Companion,” which offers riding advice
and adjustment ideas to optimize the experience, and one called “The
Visor,” which is a pair of glasses that span the entire field of vision
and are controlled by eye movements—correlate to return active feedback
about road conditions to the rider while adjusting the ride of the bike
continuously depending on the rider’s driving style. (Sure beats
today's motorcycle touchscreen technology.)
