Motorbikes 'to get safe driving aids'

[bogan]

I definitely was not thinking speed & rpm. I was thinking of hazard identification, 'augmented reality' style.

Like, that randy unchained goat on the roadside is highlighted in red. Or an outline flashes around the upcoming tar snake. Or it just creates the illusion of arrows/lines on the road that direct you to the nearest pie shop.

For the third time - this is not about ceasing to think! Plus it's years away anyway, so the purists have nothing to fear just yet.

Put it this way, how many people with gps are aware of the name of the roads they go down? similar with this, the rider wouldn't have to look for hazards anymore, in fact gravel etc that wasn't highlighted in read probably wouldn't look like a hazard to the rider anymore.

I completely agree they should develop these systems.

Then they should fit them to all cars so ter drivers will recognise that there is a bike in the vicinity so that they shouldn't change lanes, pull out from a parking space, or enter an intersection before they actually sight the bike.

As for those "Slow Down" electronic signs, there's on on the way to the Kaimais and I make it light up "Slow Down" every time I go through the corner on my bike. And I'm on my 6R, have only been riding for 11 months, and I'm only on a GV250 Hyosung. Just shows the difference between cars and bikes, or that they've got it set at an extremely low threshhold speed..
