Inspiration Friday: Human or Machine Who’s In Control?
https://www.totalmotorcycle.com/inspira ... n-control/
This week’s Inspiration Friday: Human or Machine Who’s In Control? TMW examines this touchy subject of who is in control of your bike, you or the computer? With Artificial Intelligence connecting cars and bikes and Human Machine Interfaces removing human errors will you be allowed to ride naturally ever again or is this a good thing? The Connected Motorcycle Consortium, with members BMW, Honda, KTM, Yamaha, Ducati, Suzuki, Triumph and Kawasaki use built-in AI to focus on further improvements of the Basic Specification for motorcycles, while at the same time taking account of new functions supported by on-board sensors both in cars and in motorcycles. It will be intrusive to riders and drivers. It will prevent you from making “mistakes” the HMI (Human Machine Interface) doesn’t think you should do.
Everything that is on the road, cars, bikes, motorcycles, even tractors will have this basic (yes, it’s a basic standard) installed in them so they can all “talk” to each other independent of you, the rider, driver or operator*.
At Total Motorcycle we are all in favor of added safety for riders and preventing accidents 100%. This is just a really, really tough call as it isn’t just ABS, traction control or a riding mode, this is the rider giving up control of the vehicle in hopes the HMI will make the right decision at the crisis point. Remember the safety advice of not putting your bike in neutral at a stop light/sign just incase a driver behind you doesn’t stop and you need to accelerate into an intersection… ya, the bike may not let you do that now.
Something to think and read about…
*Maybe rider, driver or operator verbs are now outdated, who needs a steering wheel or handlebar anyways?
