Honda Self balancing Motorcycle

Honda revealed a motorcycle that can run without being controlled by the driver and balanced by itself without fall in Consumer Electronic show(CES), Las vegas.

The new technology was developed by Honda to eradicate low-speed accidents. The motorcycle will even follow its rider when the rider is not sitting on the motorcycle.

The digital system that senses the low-speed below 3 miles per hour, disengages the handlebar from the front forks and computer takes it to control.Generally, the self-balancing technology uses gyroscopes but they add a lot of weight. Instead, Honda's Riding Assist system increases the rake angle the front forks and disconnects the handle bar. it then uses minute steering inputs to keep the bike perfectly balanced.

It reduces the center of gravity to improve the stability to withstand without falling.

It's following the rider by the sensing technology.if you want to get parking the vehicle go to the place where you want to park.

Hope it will reduce the accident and improve the rider safety.
