Not sure if this is the right community for this, but I see plenty of electric motorcycle stuff here, so I’ll bite. Message me if this is the wrong place for this content.
Anyways, really? AI? On a motorcycle? Isn’t the entire point of motorcycles feeling the freedom of manipulating your machine to do what you ask of it? Without any AI and data selling nonsense? Please don’t let this be the direction of motorcycling.
AI is powerful has a place in many areas. Just keep it out of motorcycles, a hobby defined by skill, freedom, and most importantly, fun.
Give us electric motorcycles whose tech adds to the experience, not tries to turn it into a IoT data harvesting device, please.
On the off-topic matter of AI public policy, I would like to see a GDPR or CCPA style regulation for built-in network connectivity for mobile devices, including automobiles and micromobility. In the same way EU and California residents can now opt-out of data collection on websites, I believe the same should apply for physical products. Often, there isn’t a choice to extricate oneself from the data harvesting, or even just turn the networking device off, due to artificial limits imposed by the design.
Company-ending fines for data privacy violations, voluntary opt-in with no bundling to basic use-cases, and mandates for modular or removable/replaceable networking would go a long way. Heck, even just a removable SIM card slot would accomplish the latter goal and we’ve had that technology for decades.
