Remember the Connected Motorcycle Consortium (CMC)? It’s a group of motorcycle manufacturers including BMW, Ducati, Honda, KTM, Suzuki, Triumph, and Yamaha. In 2016, the group was originally formed to collectively analyze and address the prevalence of crashes between motorcycles and cars on public roads.
Fast forward to 2023, and Ducati just demonstrated a motorcycle and car connectivity system that it’s been working on with fellow Audi Group automotive manufacturer, Lamborghini. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have become more prevalent in cars over time, but finding the best way to integrate such systems and take motorcycles into account is a puzzle that Ducati and the greater CMC want to solve.
