Now Bosch wants to take things further by introducing anti-slide technology.
Bosch the German technology firm is attempting to use high-pressure gas that's forced out of a nozzle to help right a sliding motorcycle.
The technology being tested isn't new though, and is similar to the technique used by astronauts to navigate in zero gravity. The Bosch anti-slide system uses a device similar to the airbag inflator in cars to provide an external lateral force when the tyres of a motorcycle lose traction. In other words, when a bike begins to slide and fall, pressurised gas thrusters will repulse and straighten the bike.
The only downside is that the system, just like airbags, can be used only once. Once the gas propulsion system is activated, the technology will have to re-installed again, and it will have to be paid for once again. But so far, the system is still in the testing phase, so by the time an actual production system is introduced, Bosch may find a way out to make it re-usable.
