Bosch’s Top Executive Confirms the Arrival of More Autonomous Braking Technology for Bicycles

Bosch, a leading motorcycle technology company, has introduced an advanced rider assistance system (ARAS) in their latest motorcycle, the KTM 1390 Super Adventure S EVO. The system features auto-braking, which has raised concerns among motorcyclists about the loss of control. The ARAS system uses sensors to detect traffic and objects around the rider, and can maintain position during group rides, stop at traffic signals, and even apply emergency braking if the rider doesn’t brake hard enough. According to Geoff Liersch, head of Bosch’s Two-Wheeler and Powersports department, more motorcycles will be equipped with ARAS technology in the future, although he didn’t specify which models or features will be included. The new system has sparked debate about the role of technology in motorcycling, with some questioning whether there will be anything left for the rider to control. As the technology advances, it’s likely to raise even more questions about the future of motorcycling.
