However, don't bicycle caliper brake expect the technology anytime soon as Ducati states that the earliest version will be available on Ducati models “only by 2020”. Though it won’t detect any incoming missiles, it will # be capable of detecting dangerously fast vehicles around the bike.Part of Ducatis "Safety Road Map 2025", the Advanced Rider Assistance Systems will utilize multiple sensors to detect obstacles, warn the rider and self-adjust the throttle and brake input.

Ducati states that this system will not only help in detecting dangerous blind spots but will also help in detecting the flow of the traffic ahead of the bike.In a bid to make its motorcycles safer, after implementing ABS cornering and D-air airbag integration systems, Ducati is now planning to introduce radar-based safety systems on its bikes. No word on which model it will come equipped with, but we are guessing it will be the mile munching Multistrada.Ducati has already filed a patent based on research conducted with the Politecnico di Milano University.Ducati has already filed a patent based on research conducted with the Politecnico di Milano University.

The ARAS setup needs to work perfectly as false automatic brake and throttle inputs can lead to a fatal accident. Also, the technology will also be pricey and will take some time to reach entry level bikes.With the technology being at an early stage, it is too early to speculate or pass judgment on it.This is certainly an appreciated move and will help Ducati in creating a niche market of fast yet safe motorcycles. However, we will certainly be keeping a close eye on it. This information will be further used to integrate an adaptive cruise control system.However, getting there won't be easy.
