BMW says its autonomous vehicle will help boost the safety and handling of conventional motorcycles.
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.
==================================================
Very neat stuff: self-driving, autonomous motorcycle. Imagine cruise-control on a long cross-country bike ride?
