BMW’s New Technology to Make Motorcycle Accident Lawyers a Thing of the Past

Personal injury attorney Brad Sinclair wants riders to know he’s there for them, even when technology and safety features fail.

Melbourne, United States – August 1, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

Riding a motorcycle is at best considered a less than safe endeavor. But, BMW is developing new technology that defies that thought. It can make motorcycles so safe that helmets, riding gear and personal injury attorneys will no longer be needed.

As BMW celebrates its 100th anniversary, it is finally choosing to display some of the cutting-edge technology that it is hoping to soon bring to the market.

While all four divisions, BMW, Mini, Rolls-Royce and BMW Motorrad’s (motorcycles) all had advancements to display at the companies anniversary event in Santa Monica, CA, it was the latter that seemed to be causing the most buzz among both the tech crowd and motor enthusiasts present at the invitation-only event.

For the first time, the company acknowledged it was developing a crash-proof motorcycle. It gave out some details of the science and technology it had developed to bring this dream to fruition.

At the heart of this accident-free motorcycle is the company’s new Flexframe™. It is a completely suspension-less design having no swing arms, shocks or springs of any type. All bumps and bounces will be smoothed out by the wheels.

The frame isn’t only designed to smooth the ride though. It also provides a great deal of the turning power for the motorcycle by flexing as the bike goes into corners. Engineers said that it made the bike slightly more difficult to turn at high speed but also added a great deal to its overall stability and helped prevent a cyclist from over-steering in panic situations.

The real secret that makes the company’s claims possible lies in the technology suite built into the bike. With an array of sensors monitoring the bikes performance parameters, it can take control of the engine and braking system to help keep the motorcycle from getting out of control in a matter of milliseconds. This innovation coupled with a proprietary stability control system, traction control and anti-lock brakes supports the company’s claims that the motorcycle should stay upright at all times.

The new safety features incorporated into this bike’s design aren’t limited to the riders. The intended engine for this new breed of super-bikes will continue to be a classic BMW opposed cylinder design with a few new tweaks. Displaying the company’s recently publicized commitment to the environment, it is equipped with non-polluting, zero-emissions technology.

Of course, the one hazard that BMW can’t protect a rider from is flying debris. No longer wearing a helmet would leave motorcyclists vulnerable to eye damage from any number of airborne hazards. Rather than a weakness, BMW found a way to turn this into a further strength for its riding system.

Future BMW riders will be equipped with a data-display visor, which BMW calls its Digital Companion. This cousin to a heads-up display gives the rider different data depending on the position of the head. When going through a curve, it can suggest the ideal line to take. If the rider is getting too far out of position, it can deliver flashing warning signals and tones. With the rider in a head back position, it will call up a rearview camera. Only when the rider is head down looking straight ahead does all the data sets completely disappear.

By company estimates, it could be a decade or more before all of the technology incorporated into this bike is seen on the street. When it does arrive, a company spokesman believes “it will usher in a new era in motorcycle safety.”

When asked for his opinion, motorcycle enthusiast and personal injury attorney Brad Sinclair had this to say, “I’m not concerned about my practice, there will always be people doing dumb things that get other people hurt. As a rider myself, I would love to see this technology make me [as a motorcycle accident lawyer] obsolete.”
