bpate4home Posted February 25, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 25, 2020 Here is a brief read on IoT for Motorcycles. https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-a-connected-motorcycle-could-save-thousands-of-lives/ Sensors along the line of what's in a car such as lane breach detectors. Interesting in concept but I think most riders would reject the idea flat out as a distraction while riding. Is it a bit much? What are your thoughts.

RandyR Posted February 26, 2020 Share #2 Posted February 26, 2020 NO, a thousand times NO. One reason I ride a motorcycle is to get away from things like the internet. I choose not to wear a slave collar even if it shows I am socially responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in that I don't want a big brother scenario of any kind but the thought of sensors showing surrounding vehicles is intriguing. A light showing someone crossing into our lane like a car obstacle light. Now add some fun to that with a series of small paintball mounted guns to mark the car as a threat to bikes. Houston highways are notorious for tailgaters and those that will cut you off with no warning, I would love to mark these vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear for future generations feeling that the human race will become nothing more than some form of collective or society of cyborgs being led around like sheep by a few individuals who feel they have the right to force their idea of the perfect society upon the rest of the human race. I would rather be less than perfect but free with all its accompanying risks than be the perfect living manikin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the second running video of that link focus attention to the potential risks mentioned 45sec in! This is a warning of where some wish to take us.
