That we live in a new technological era full of expectations is something that can no longer be ignored at this point in the film. Now, it is one thing to want to do this or that; It’s quite another to finally achieve it.
matteran Indian company specialized in the development of “sustainable solutions based on electrical technology”is committed to a modular platform controlled by AI capable of adapting the parameters of a motorcycle to the demands and needs of each moment.
Matter and his futuristic vision of two wheels
It is not the first time that we hear or read that AI, in the not too distant future, will be responsible for controlling almost any existing technological process. From Matter, applying this type of innovation to the world of motorcycles, they have created what they themselves call AI Defined Vehicle (AIDV) platform…What is this exactly?, you may ask.
As argued during the presentation event of said platform, Mohal Lalbhai, founder and CEO of the Matter Group: “For decades, motorcycles have been defined primarily by their mechanics. Intelligent vehicles change this forever. When intelligence drives materials, energy and control – and not just software – we achieve vehicles that continually exceed their initial performance. This is not a simple transition to electric vehicles, but a complete renewal of the category.”
In Christian: with this design platform Matter aims to control each and every one of the physical and technological processes that occur on a motorcycle. To achieve this, any model based on this system should have an infinite number of sensors capable of transmitting in real time what is happening at a technical level in it. The AI, based on the data collected and the parameters chosen for processing, would be able to adapt the behavior of the motorcycle to each situation and requirement.
Seen this way it gives the impression that the pilot would be relegated to the background. If we focus on Matter’s main argument to justify this platform, one wonders where the emotion and sensations that a motorcycle should transmit would be once we put ourselves at the controls. The same characteristics that are born precisely from feeling completely free when you are driving.
If it is AI or any other computer software that really controls the situation, then where would the excitement of driving a motorcycle be? On this aspect we have a clear and firm opinion from Jason Chinnock, CEO of Ducati USA, when in a recent interview he stated something that many of us think: “No to motorcycles that drive themselves. Motorcycles are to be ridden.”
In conclusion, Matter believes that the future of the two-wheeled sector involves absolute control of AI in terms of the management of the main functions: security, responsiveness or efficiency They would be among them. Then there is another group of motorcyclists who continue to think that a motorcycle is for riding and that yes, it is good to have electronic assistance in certain sections. From there the pilot takes a back seat in terms of controlling the vehicle itself… What do you think about the subject?
