Yamaha To Showcase A Motorcycle Concept With Artificial Intelligence

The upcoming Tokyo Motor Show is going to be a rather interesting with a host of cool concept cars and motorcycles to be showcased. And one such interesting model will by Yamaha's Motoroid Concept. The Motoroid Concept is a motorcycle with Artificial Intelligence (AI) which means that it will be capable of interacting with the rider and others. The idea, Yamaha says, is to give people the experience of 'Kando', which is a Japanese word meaning immense satisfaction and excitement upon encountering something or someone very valuable. In the near future, Yamaha would like its motorcycles to be sociable and interactive with the rider/owner.

The motorcycle itself runs on electricity and has a rather unique design. The bike has a rather radical seating geometry with a thin pad but has support for the chest and the back. The handlebars are styled akin to a race bike with the palm grips pointing downwards. You can also see bits of carbon-fibre, especially the front mudguard.
