BMW Motorrad: Radar-guided cruise control for motorcycles

BMW has decided to one-up their game as they plan to be the first ones to introduce radar-guided cruise control in their motorcycles and they call it – Active Cruise Control.

The radar-guided system in the BMW Active Cruise Control monitors the distance from the vehicle in front.

BMW has stated that they have developed this system with Bosch. The rider can set both the distance from the vehicle in front and the speed of the bike in three stages at the touch of a button. It even features two modes, Comfort and Dynamic, which alter the aggression with which the bike accelerates or decelerates.

The system also features a ‘Curve Speed Control’. This helps the motorcycle maintain constant speed in a turn while maintaining a comfortable lean angle. As the rider leans further, the system limits its intervention to avoid unsettling the rider.The system cannot respond to a stationary vehicle, and the capability of the radar is limited while cornering.
