Riding With Robots
Up To SpeedMotorcycles don't yet offer full stability control, but with the introduction this year of Honda's sophisticated sportbike anti-lock braking and Ducati's second-generation traction control, they're getting close. Conceptually, anti-lock braking and traction control work the same way: Sensors compare wheel speeds and indicate when one is speeding up (traction control) or slowing down (anti-lock) too much, and then adjust driving or braking power to prevent loss of traction. In effect, those functions are being adjusted by an intelligence independent of the rider-a "robot"-which works to prevent rider errors from becoming crashes. Nothing wrong with that.
