Blind driver from the left? Motorcycle warns!

In addition to BMW, Honda and Yamaha have now also presented their prototypes of the connected motorcycle. They should show what could be possible in the future.

Update from October 18, 2017: Now Yamaha and Honda have also shown their prototypes of the connected motorcycle. The networking technology, which should help avoid accidents at some point in the future, is obviously the same in the Africa Twin and the MT-07 as in the BMW R 1200 RS already shown. After all, the three big manufacturers also work closely together in the field of motorcycle networking. Only the displays are designed differently from the outside. All connected ride prototypes: see photo show.

Message from October 13th, 2017:

Imagine you have right of way, but suddenly a car comes from the left and threatens to knock you over. But your smart bike has long since smelled the roast and warned you at least on the display. So nothing happened. Phew, lucky. Or just “Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication, based on a manufacturer-independent communication standard and highly precise satellite-supported localization by D-GNSS (Differential Global Navigation Satellite System)”, like BMW the technology of R 1200 RS Connected Ride describes.

Technology currently still requires a lot of space

With the BMW R 1200 RS Connected Ride, BMW has now shown a prototype equipped with this networking technology. The presentation took place in Munich as part of a conference of the members of the “Connected Motorcycle Consortium” founded in 2016. This industry and research association includes not only Bayern, but also Honda and Yamaha. Its aim is to find a common technical standard as soon as possible, to introduce it and to make it roadworthy.

However, BMW’s descriptions of the specific safety technology in the BMW R 1200 RS Connected Ride are still very vague: In addition to an intersection and left-turn assistant, the motorcycle “has numerous other systems to avoid accidents between a motorcycle and a car. This also warns others Road users in the event of a probable disregard of the right of way as well as the warning of the motorcyclist himself. Technically, this dangerous situation is recognized and appropriate warning measures are initiated. “

The photos provided of the prototype of the BMW R 1200 RS Connected Ride, on the other hand, are clear: they show that the technology that is not explained in detail currently still takes up the entire space of the two side cases, i.e. it takes up an immense amount of space.
