Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made a number of bold statements about autonomous cars during the last couple of years, and has, despite all the naysayers made big moves towards developing a fully functioning level 5 autonomous car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the EV maker is already building cars with an Autopilot driver assistance system, but in reality, this is nothing compared to a fully autonomous driving function, with which the driver can practically take a nap while the car drives itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite Musk\u2019s claims that fully autonomous cars (AVs) could just be around the corner, a lot of technical and regulatory obstacles remain, and it may just be too early to tell how and when AVs will disrupt motorcycle markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, we can only speculate what all this new tech means for the safety and riding pleasure of us motorcyclists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the installation of logic driven computers, self-learning systems and a ton of cameras and safety features, it seems like cars are increasingly well-equipped to deal with unexpected situations\u2026 but what happens when a sensor fails\u2026 or when a camera feed shuts down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number of highly interesting studies have been conducted on the topic, but with AV technology advancing at a rapid pace, it seems like a lot more studies will have to be conducted in the near future before AVs can begin to co-exist with human-operated vehicles. Let alone smaller, less noticeable motorcycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important word here is \u2018co-exist\u2019. It seems a mere question of time before AVs begin to hit the roads. Despite rumors that AVs could mean the end of motorcycles, or fears that AVs may knock you off your bike, it’s important to know that the development of autonomous driving tech won\u2019t happen overnight. A lot of testing will be done before that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some studies are already concluding that new motorcycles may have to be outfitted with some kind of sensor that informs autonomous vehicles of their location in space and time (think airplanes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, with better artificial Intelligence systems in development, the safety of the motorcyclist and other users on the road will depend on the quality of data and the speed of data exchange between vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autonomous driving tech isn\u2019t likely to end the era of motorcycles, instead, it\u2019s more likely that motorcycle tech will evolve along with automotive technology.  BMW is already developing autonomous motorcycle riding functions, which may be able to guide you through boring sections, until you make it to more interesting twisty roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you think this is futuristic, Yamaha has been working on a concept bike called MOTOROiD, an electric bike which actually recognizes you as its owner and comes riding over to you (think KnightRider \ud83d\ude42).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re interested in the future of AVs and motorcycles, Webbikeworld.com published a super interesting article<\/a> about this topic last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Will autonomous vehicles mean the end of motorcycles? Probably not, but it might change the way we as motorcyclists need to interact with cars.<\/p>\n
