Honda’s taking tech from the world of cars and putting it into its bikes. For those of you that don’t know, lane-keep assist is an electronic nanny that keeps you tracking straight down the highway through the use of cameras and radar sensors that “see” the lines on the road. The system then adds the corresponding input to bring the vehicle back into line.
Big H is not the only brand that’s been working on semi-autonomous tech. Radars on bikes are not new thanks to Ducati fitting a system onto its Multistrada in recent memory. Now, even Yamaha's getting in on it testing a Tracer. While Ducati is reserving that feature for its biggest of bikes meant for the longest of rides, Honda, on the other hand, seems to have used a sportbike for its patent image, suggesting that the system could be on offer for bikes that aren’t long-distance tourers.
