Surprise, Surprise, Car Emergency Brake Systems Still Don't See Bikes Well

As motorcyclists, one thing I think we can all agree on is that we like the feeling of engaging with our vehicles. There's a level of involvement in riding that you just don't get in the average car. It's different with enthusiast cars, of course, as those usually offer a more engaging driving experience than, say, your bog standard Nissan Altima. 

To say that most riders and most drivers look for different experiences in their motorbikes and cars is an understatement. And yet, in 2025, more motorcycles (generally pricier, high-end ones) are starting to have car-like advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). But cars, of course, have had these for ages.

They got a bit of a head start in this area, including development of sophisticated front- and rear-end collision detection, aimed at helping to prevent more crashes if drivers didn't react in time. Because they got a head start, you might reasonably expect that these systems would be pretty far along in their development in 2025, right?
