BMW is developing a “cross traffic assistant” to improve safety for motorcyclists at junctions.
The assistant is intended to work by processing inputs from a differential GPS navigation on the motorcycle as well as other vehicles. With the signals transmitted via a modified WiFi connection, the assistant warns both vehicles. The possibility also exists to for the technology to ensure that the vehicle with right of way is the one allowed to proceed.
