They don't need a driver. What autonomous electric motorcycles will be like.
BMW R1200 GS: A legendary adventure bike, the R1200 GS excels with its robust 1,170cc boxer engine, delivering 100bhp and exceptional versatility. Its balance, comfort, and reliability make it ideal for long-distance touring and off-road adventures, though repairs can be costly.
Honda Riding Assist: Showcased at CES 2017, this self-balancing technology keeps motorcycles upright at low speeds or standstill, reducing fall risks. It uses robotics to adjust the front fork, enhancing safety, especially in traffic, but it’s not yet in production.
Yamaha Motoroid: A futuristic concept with AI-driven self-balancing and rider recognition, the Motoroid 2 uses gyroscopes and gesture controls to move autonomously. Its innovative design won awards, but it remains a prototype with no confirmed production plans.
Lit Motors C1: A fully enclosed, electric two-wheeler with gyroscopic stabilization, the C1 promises car-like safety and bike-like agility. Despite early hype, development stalled, and recent funding efforts aim to revive the project, but it’s not yet available.
BMW Motorrad Vision Next 100: A visionary 2016 concept, this self-balancing, electric bike eliminates the need for a helmet with advanced safety systems and a digital visor for real-time data. Its sleek design and dynamic handling are futuristic but far from production.
Honda Riding Assist-e: An electric evolution of the Riding Assist, this 2017 concept adds self-balancing to an electric platform. It can follow riders autonomously, but like its predecessor, it’s a prototype with no confirmed market release.
Yamaha Motobot: A humanoid robot designed to ride an unmodified Yamaha R1M at high speeds, Motobot uses machine learning to optimize performance. Aimed at developing rider-assist technologies, it’s an R&D project, not a consumer product, with impressive track capabilities.
