Not only cars but now autopilot - the future has arrived?
A carriage can speed up, turn over crabs, dodge obstacles and brake again.
We know that many types of aircraft have self-driving mode. We also know that Uber has been experimenting with self-driving taxi types in many cities - although there is still a lot of controversy.
But have you ever thought of a self-driving motorbike? In fact, it is more complicated to make a self-driving motorbike, because many factors need to be taken into account. You won't have a lot of "land" for sensors, or how to keep your balance.
Self-driving motorbikes, capable of accelerating, cornering, even braking and lowering their feet even though no one controls.
But now, self-driving cars have appeared. Recently, the world-famous conglomerate BMW has released a video showing that they have produced a self-driving motorbike, capable of speeding up, cornering, even braking and lowering the landing even if there is no Who controls.
It is known that the internal sensors are operated by BMW's new AI system. Currently the company is hoping that this system will be an effective tool to help motorbike drivers in the future.
Specifically, the car in the video code is R1200GS - BMW vehicles have taken more than 2 years to develop. The car shows the ability to start automatically, self-accelerate, self-brake, decelerate and then lower the stand without the driver.
However, this is not a car that will be sold massively, but a template for BMW to research on future driver assistance technology, especially in the case of distracted driving. That will be the final solution for emergencies.
"This version helps us better understand the dynamics of motorcycles while on the road" - Stefan Hans, Motorrad's safety engineer shared.
"The AI system is capable of predicting whether the next situation is dangerous or not, and from that gives timely responses."
Reportedly, BMW engineers have spent hundreds of hours developing this technology. According to some rumors, it seems that they have used front-facing sensor cameras and AI technology, like current self-driving car technology.
However, the fact also shows that public opinion still disagrees with this technology. Many people believe that people should not entrust their lives to the calculation of machines, especially when there are some self-driving car accidents that have happened recently.
