Article 1 :  BMW's Futuristic Motorcycle Balances on Its Own

By Kacey Deamer

The motorcycle of the future is so smart that it could eliminate the need for protective gear, according to automaker BMW.

To mark its 100th birthday, BMW has unveiled a number of concept vehicles that imagine the future of transportation. Possibly its most daring revelation, the so-called Motorrad Vision Next 100 concept motorcycle is so advanced that BMW claims riders wouldn't need a helmet.

The Motorrad Vision Next 100 would have a self-balancing system that keeps the bike upright both in motion and when still. BMW touted the motorbike's futuristic features, saying it would allow for riders of all skill levels to "enjoy the sensation of absolute freedom." According to the automaker, the Motorrad wouldn't require protective gear such as helmets and padded suits. 

Another traditional feature was also missing from the concept: a control panel. Instead, helmetless riders would wear a visor that acts as a smart display. 

"Information is exchanged between rider and bike largely via the smart visor," BMW said in a statement."This spans the rider's entire field of view and provides not only wind protection but also relevant information, which it projects straight into the line of sight as and when it is needed."

Such information would not be needed all the time because drivers will be able to hand over active control of the vehicle at points; the Motorrad and other Vision Next 100 vehicles would be equipped with self-driving technology, according to BMW.

The futuristic motorcycle and other concepts released during the centennial event were noted as "zero emissions" vehicles, because BMW said it believes the future of transportation is electric. 

Other concepts in the Next 100 Years series included a massive Rolls-Royce (measuring nearly 20 feet long) that is referred to as "her" because of the vehicles' AI called Eleanor. Eleanor is fully autonomous, with a couch instead of seats and no steering wheel. BMW also unveiled a Mini concept that is partially transparent and designed completely around car-sharing. No need to own this future Mini, because BMW said the vehicle can be called to a location with an app, arriving autonomously, and ready for use.

Article 2 :   6D Helmets’ Omni-Directional Suspension Bestowed “Best New Technology”

6D Helmets’ proprietary Omni-Directional Suspension (ODS™) system has been named Best New Technology in the coveted Motorcyclist MOTY Awards. The MOTY award is one of the most prestigious recognitions in the motorcycle industry that identifies truly game-changing motorcycles and products and their influence on the market.

6D’s Omni-Directional Suspension technology exclusive in 6D helmets features a fully active, in-helmet suspension and kinetic energy management system. ODS™ reduces the transfer of angular and linear accelerations to the brain by means of its 3-dimensional displacement capability. Low-threshold energy compliance is also dramatically improved providing a more forgiving helmet over a much broader range of energy demands.

Motorcyclists editors comment “The helmet is a rider’s most important piece of protective equipment, and this year helmet technology took a massive leap forward thanks to 6D’s Omni-Directional Suspension.”

“It is a great honor to receive the “Best New Technology” award from Motorcyclist,” exclaimed Bob Weber, CEO and Co-Founder, 6D Helmets. “It proves that the motorcycle community recognizes and appreciates new technologies dedicated to rider safety.”

Resume :

For 100 years of BMW, the make of car presented some prototypes, of which the Motorrad Vision Next 100. This motorcycle is so intelligent, that it could dispense the motorcyclist of the usual protection equipments. The motorcycle possesses several gadgets as a self-balancing, she's electric, to replace the helmet, a visor has for role to create the link between the motorcyclist and the motorcycle. To conclude, the Motorrad Vision Next 100 has everything of a motor of the future, thanks to the esthetics and feature of that one. 

Also in the field of the motorcycle, The manufacturer of motorcycle helmet 6D won the prize of MOTY awards thanks to its helmet ODS (Omni-Directional Suspensions). This helmet features a fully active, in-helmet suspension and kinetic energy management system. ODS™ reduces the transfer of angular and linear accelerations to the brain by means of its 3-dimensional displacement capability. Low-threshold energy compliance is also dramatically improved providing a more forgiving helmet over a much broader range of energy demands. 

Finally, Thanks to this motorcycle and to these helmet, we can imagine in the future that there will not be accident anymore of motorcycle at least I hope...
