Perhaps if they use this device in automobiles they could also tie it into the cell phine, ipod, coffee cup, vcr, gps, or other piece of consumer electronics 60% of the population of divers is otherwise involved in while drivinng. I would be delighted to see cell phones with GPSs that shut off the phone whenever it determins the user is moving more than 15 mph. I ride my BMW K1200 1000 miles a week through Los Angeles CA each week, and I would be rich if I got a dollar for every diver I found in the fast lane driving 20 mph slower than everyone else while they talk on the phone and hundreds of drivers pile up behind them.

I’m with Hanny on this one. Looking over my shoulder is second nature before changing lanes and it should be for you, too. I do think this technology is neat but I believe it’s intended more for cars and trucks than motorcycles, it just happened to show up at this display on a bike.

Whatever happened to watching over your shoulder to see if changing lanes or a turn are possible? Are we turning into wimps or what?

Anything that helps the oblivious cagers be a bit more aware of who’s around them is a very good thing in my book! Very cool new tech.
