Artificial Intelligence in bikes

The automobile industry is already improving by leaps and bounds. The past decade or so has seen the advent of new technologies like GPS, ABS, child lock and lots of other things that help the driver to care less about the controls of the vehicle and instead enjoy the ride. At this pace, its not long before someone implements the Artificial Intelligence in the vehicles.

Just think about the AI installed bikes. whenever wait in the traffic, it should automatically sense how much time is still left for the signal to turn green and based on that, the engine should automatically turn off. When the time is very short, the engine should keep running. In this way, it not only saves the petrol and thereby being more economical, it also avoids accidents. As the engine is turned off, the driver cannot cross a signal on sighting a small opening. Quite a remarkable technology it will be.. isnt it?

After riding my bike for close to four years, i just came to know that the Hero Honda guys have already tried this technology and that they have implemented this in my bike. WOW.. amazing... i came to know that only a couple of weeks back.. tat too after giving my bike for service.. or is it that the bike mechanic tried something like this.. anyway... i am proud of this new technology being implemented in mine. But, as it goes with every technology, this has got its bugs as well. Not anything big, just that the technology is working in reverse in my bike.

Whenever, i stop the vehicle in a signal, that too for a small duration of time, my bike immediately turns off. By the time i start it and run my bike, the signal turns green and i am left to face the cold stares and some name callings by the fellow riders. Also, when i stop the bike for a longer duration of time.. i voluntarily leave my engine on to check whether it automatically turns off, but that never happens. Even if its for 120 seconds, the engine keeps running. When i take this to the mechanic to show what the problem is and leave it in the idle and wait for it to turn off, it never happens again. But, immediately when i cross the street of the mechanic, it turns off again. And a couple of days back, my colleague unaware of the latest technology in my bike, took it for a ride and nearly fell off when he stopped for a U-turn.

Should ask the mechanic/Hero honda service persons to check it again and give them a chance to implement this functionality in a better way, before any damage is made. if they are unaware of this, i am thinking of patenting this amazing technology. Let me see :)
