In August, 2022, the Connected Motorcycle Consortium released a white paper that examines how well Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) detect a range of different powered two-wheelers (PTW)—also known as bikes, to you and me. The paper analyzed the current state of detection, as well as upcoming European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) requirements.
Most importantly of all, after taking a thorough dive into existing data, the CMC’s study offered recommendations to help ADAS systems “see” motorbikes better out on the road. The situation could clearly be better—and two riders who both died in suspected ADAS-related crashes involving Teslas rear-ending them—are just the latest proof.
