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.
