HONDA VFR 1200 F

This is the future, and it may be forced upon us by regulation in the future. In the case of automobiles, the deadline would be 2022. They must be able to predict danger, alter their speed to the circumstances, and respond to routine signaling. Among other delights. What kind of miracle is this? Stéréoscopical cameras are a type of camera that is used to capture images from a distance. Honda has decided to equip its motorcycles in addition to its automobiles. Nothing is ever certain...

On the next VFR1200F and Goldwing, expect technological baubles that perform as well as the human eye in perception all the way to the electronic data center for analysis. In terms of safety and driver aid, the technology used on today's two and four-wheeled vehicles is a giant leap forward. While safety features in automobiles, such as emergency braking and automatic speed limiters, are expected to become mandatory by 2022, there is currently no concrete discussion on the subject in the motorcycle world. This does not, however, prevent engineers from focusing on the research and development of new technologies capable of improving the safety - and, why not, the comfort - of all drivers.

Aside from Bosch's "anti-collision radar," which has already been announced for Ducati and KTM, and Harley-automatic Davidson's brake system, a special note merits being made in Honda's most recent study. New stereoscopic security cameras will be installed not only in his cars, but also in his long-distance motorcycles, such as the VFR 1200 F and the new Goldwing.

The patent in question, which was recently filed, was for a sort of camera with two parallel lenses. A solution that, in a manner similar to human eyes, would allow a binocular vision capable of constructing 3D images to be sent to the "cerveau" of the motorcycle for data processing and, as a result, for the calculation of dangers and possible activation of "emergency" actions such as brake warnings or sound alerts. To be followed.
