The system also uses eye recognition to detect if the rider is wearing a helmet, which is required by law in many countries. This innovative technology could revolutionize motorcycle security and safety.

Thanks Chris. As awesome as this sounded, we have added an Ed. Note at the end of the article. We hate to prove P.T. Barnum right in this instance and be one of the fools born every minute, but we do have a sense of humor and don’t mind having a little laugh at our own expense.

Thanks for reading!

Thomas, fortunately/unfortunately, this “press release” turned out to be an April Fools’ joke. Check out our Ed. Note at the end of the article for a little chuckle at our expense.

Jay, glad to know we were in good company. We have since added an editor’s note…but we saved it for the end of the article. Hopefully other readers will be as excited as we were when we first saw it, and then we’ll dash their hopes.

Thanks for reading!

BMW is already having troubles with ECUs failing, and most recently having to replace thousands of faulty GPS units. Envision this, the detection feature fails to recognize the owner and the bike is totally disabled. Now you’ll be getting a tow and be without your bike for probably weeks, if the time for replaced ECUs is any sign. (3 weeks -3 months avg due to so called supply chain).
