Bill_Walker Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Lest you think the developers of self-driving car technology are ignoring motorcycles: "Ford has filed a patent application for a system to detect lane-splitting motorcycles. The system uses various sensors on a car, such as cameras, RADAR, LIDAR and SONAR, to determine if a lane-splitting motorcycle is approaching from the rear. If a filtering bike is detected, the car would include that information in its collision avoidance system. Though mainly conceived for use in self-driving cars, the principles behind the design can also work for non-autonomous vehicles." "Michigan-based Delphi Technologies has its own patent application that would use data from a lane-splitting detector like Ford's to autonomously move a car further away from the lane markers to give motorcycles more room while filtering." Ford Is Developing A Lane-Splitting Detection System - motorcycle.com Note to mods: this seemed like "Motorcycle Talk" to me, but if you think it belongs in "Other Topics", have at it.
