Every time technology in the mobility world replaces human behavior with machine-made actions, there are breakthroughs in accuracy and safety. But at the same time, this development exempts drivers who are accustomed to resorting to the help of computers from this practice.
Taking it off topic and taking it as a practical example for everyone is the same as when you interrupt mathematical calculations in your head or replace them with pencil and paper calculators in complex cases . Mental flexibility is atrophied, at least in that regard.
Something similar happens with driver assistance systems (ADAS), where more and more cars are beginning to be introduced as standard equipment in all sectors. People who are more likely to drive cars that correct routes and highway lanes automatically raise and lower the high beam. Detects that a vehicle is in front of you, which indicates by light when a car approaches from behind. Stopping to rest every certain kilometer, he perfectly understands what it is.
If you resort to the help of the machine, attention will stop, and problems may occur if the machine does not react correctly. Something happened to some Tesla drivers, in some cases they moved to the back seat and left the car in autopilot mode, but this is not fully autonomous, It ended in a fatal accident.
Technology is still evolving and is becoming more and more precise, but artificial intelligence, which manages the support parameters, does not have a person's So there may still be situations where there is no information to resolve it.
Motorcycles are “sightings” of this type of problem. Due to the magnitude, speed and movement of traffic jams, not all motorcycles are detected in time, which warns the driver of the presence of the vehicle .
Therefore, the Italian motorcycle and scooter brand Piaggio understands that it can contribute to motorcycles , together with the Israeli brand Vayyar, has developed a system that protects against comfortable or careless drivers and unnoticed machines.
The concept is to make the motorcycle bigger to detect it in time. Now the radar system transmits signals and works with a conical field of view, leaving areas without coverage.
In Piaggio's new patent, when it receives a signal, the system increases the size of the motorcycle to amplify and detect it However, it says that the vertical and horizontal viewing angles will be larger and will reach 170 degrees. This device offers almost 360 degrees of coverage, since it is placed in the headlights and rear lights. It also ensures that the tracking distance in the range of 300 meters is longer than the tracking distance of the current radar, and there is no object limitation
