BMW Motorrad's first autonomous motorbike was presented last week at the BMW Motorrad Techday 2018. A BMW R 1200 GS made its first rounds in front of assembled journalists, as if by magic, at the BMW Group testing ground in Miramas, southern France. Developed by graduate engineer Stefan Hans and his team, the vehicle independently drives off, accelerates, circles a winding test track and independently slows down to a stop.
Motorcycle safety systems of the future are staged at the CMC Conference 2017.
BMW Motorrad will be displaying two innovations at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on 6-9 January 2016. Laser light for motorcycles and a helmet with a head-up display will be presented, setting new standards of motorcycle safety, along with a technical outlook of how they may be employed in series models of the future.
BMW Motorrad has a long tradition in pointing out new ways and thoughts for the topic „mobility on two wheels“. For that, again and again many studies were presented in the past giving views to the future. The experimental vehicle eRR, created as a project with the Technical University of Munich, embodies an idea of an electric powered supersport motorcycle made by BMW Motorrad.
The results of one of the world’s most extensive field trials of Car-to-X communication were presented in Frankfurt am Main.
Vienna. The ITS World Congress is the premier international exhibition for devices, technologies and services associated with intelligent traffic systems. This year’s exhibition hosts a total of 300 exhibitors. The exhibition at the ITS World Congress in 2012 has the motto “smarter on the way”, and it has attracted all the key companies and innovators in this area. The exhibitors cover all aspects of traffic systems including complex information and ...
Frankfurt am Main. Intelligent driving that saves energy and increases safety always means anticipating what’s ahead, too. An array of sensors is today already at work in vehicles to help drivers do just that. The anticipation “horizon” of these sensors is often limited, however, and confined to the vehicle’s immediate surroundings. “Car-to-X communication greatly extends the anticipation horizon and will in future allow drivers to look far into the ...
Motorcycling and safety - these two words are inseparably linked as far as BMW Motorrad is concerned. For decades now, BMW Motorrad has established a pioneering role for itself when it comes to issues of safety in connection with motorcycling. Thanks to its powerful innovative strength, which continues unabated to this day, an integrated approach to safety has been developed which is firmly anchored within corporate strategy and covers all areas of ...
Car-to-x – the communication platform of the future.
For generations of motorcyclists, BMW Motorrad has been regarded as a leader in terms of motorcycling safety. With its innovative strength, BMW Motorrad established its profile as a trendsetter early on in this field and today the huge safety benefits it offers are a persuasive selling point for virtually all motorcyclists. BMW Motorrad research continues to work on increasing these safety benefits, thus making motorcycling even more attractive.
Making motorcycles better, safer, and more fun to ride with innovative developments has been one of the BMW Motorrad core competences for decades. As the leader in this technology, BMW Motorrad presents new solutions in quick succession that usually soon become indispensable in series motorcycles. Now a new step in development is in the offing: the semiactive suspension control system Dynamic Damping Control, in short DDC.
According to the German Federal Statistical Office inattentiveness when turning off a road or performing a U-turn is one of the leading causes of accidents on the country’s roads. The “left turn assistant”, a BMW Group Research and Technology research project developed as part of the European-funded “INTERSAFE 2” initiative, aims to address the left turn issue (in countries where vehicles drive on the right-hand side of the road) and so further improve ...
Six-cylinder power units have always had particular appeal, offering not only supreme smoothness and refinement, but also superior power and performance as well as a truly emotional driving – or, in this case, riding – experience. A further point is that the typical sound of a straight-six almost like a turbine is absolutely incomparable, with straight-six power units at BMW having stood for fascinating engine technology in BMW cars for more than seven ...
This is what a safe, environment-friendly and highly practical single track vehicle for city traffic could look like in the future. BMW Motorrad developed the C1-E study as a contribution to the European safety project eSUM. This study unit is based on the concept of the BMW C1. It is characterized by a very high level of active and passive safety and is driven by an electric motor.
The BMW Group is presenting a panorama of safety technologies from the past, present and future at the International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles.
