If you thought motorcycles would be the last bastion of vehicles that required human operators, you thought wrong. Honda unveiled its Riding Assist at the 2017 CES show. Ride Assist enables the bike to keep upright at a standstill, with or without a rider. Honda also showcased its ability to operate autonomously at low speeds, as it followed an engineer outside of the test facility.

Amazing. So it won't be needing me to ride it then?

That's a really interesting link (for me), thanks Roger. Being over 70 now, not as 'robust' as I once was, and with a dodgy hip, riding my 1000cc Beemer is becoming problematic. Holding it up at stationary and on a slope (camber), particularly two-up and with luggage, being the main difficulties. This could be the answer for me, to keep me riding it for a few more years, so thanks for that. And I only need the kiddies trike on Sundays...

If you look on the vids at the end, (Full screen), theres a Korean firm makes them as well.
