Ducati Wants Bikes and Cars to Wirelessly Communicate

Ducati Wants Bikes and Cars to Wirelessly Communicate
Riding a motorcycle involves a lot of risk. A slight error could lead to an awful ending, which is why riders need to be fully aware of its surroundings. As such, companies are continuously developing technologies that would improve motorcycle road safety--and Ducati is one of them. We previously reported that Bosch wants to level up motorcycle safety through its anti-slide technology. This tech is meant to reduce the risk of crashing when cornering. Aside from Bosch, Israeli tech start-up company Ride Vision is developing a Collision Aversion Technology (CAT), a wide angled 360-degree camera that detect possible crashes. Both of the said tech are meant to improve rider safety. Now, Ducati joins the safety party with its C-V2X tech, which is a wireless communication system. This tech is similar to the Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication system. It basically allows motorcycles to communicate with cars, pedestrians, and infrastructure. Using a Qualcomm 9150 C-V2X chipset, the system can help prevent crash through its Intersection Collision Warning, Across Traffic Turn Collision Risk Warning, and Sudden Braking Warning. In other words, the C-V2X tech warns two vehicles that has the possibility to crash with one another, giving both motorists the chance to react safely. Ducati has already demonstrated the said tech with Audi. The demo featured an Audi Q7 and Audi A4 as well as a Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro that's equipped with the C-V2X tech.
