BMW launches motorcycle laser lighting technology at CES 2016


      At the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from January 6th to 9th, BMW Motorcycles showcased two technological innovations – motorcycle helmets and motorcycle laser lighting with head-up display capabilities. Technology has set a new benchmark for the informationization and safety of motorcycles, while revealing its technical prospects for future production models.

BMW motorcycle helmet hidden "mystery", vehicle traffic information information

Driving a motorcycle is like flying a warplane. The motorcyclist's instant distraction, such as looking down at the meter or navigation information, may put yourself in danger. Therefore, the Cavaliers have been looking forward to having a helmet with a head-up display like a fighter pilot.

In 2003, BMW became the first brand in Europe to offer head-up display systems for motorists. The BMW Car Head-Up Display System projects the necessary traffic and vehicle information directly into the driver's forward-looking line of sight and does not change the driver's visual focus, so that information such as navigation and condition can be obtained while focusing on the road conditions. Undoubtedly, it is more important to apply this head-up display function to motorcycle helmets. At present, BMW has completed the initial development of a motorcycle helmet with a head-up display function. Important information such as motorcycle instrumentation and navigation can be directly projected onto the helmet windshield and within the rider's line of sight. This means that the rider no longer needs to look down at the dashboard or navigator to concentrate on observing the road and concentrate on driving. Safe driving provides the best support.

Safety and comfort information, just for a more passionate cycling experience

The display of the BMW Motorcycle Head-up display system is very rich. The Cavaliers can obtain technical data of motorcycles such as tire pressure, oil level, fuel level, driving speed and gear position, as well as speed limit and road sign recognition, danger warning tips, etc. information.

Relying on the future V2V inter-vehicle communication technology, the head-up display system will also obtain warning information such as real-time traffic conditions and traffic accidents issued by the vehicles in front, so that the Cavaliers can respond promptly and calmly. In addition, the visual visualization of the head-up display system enhances driver comfort, such as displaying journey planning routes and navigation recommendations.

The BMW Helmet Head-Up Display System at the 2016 CES has a built-in mini-computer, speaker, and forward-backward motion camera that delivers rich and fun features that enhance the passionate motorcycle riding experience while improving ride safety. For example, a forward camera in a helmet can directly record a ride, while a rearward lens can act as an "electronic rearview mirror." The head-up display system can control all functions through the multi-function controller of the BMW motorcycle on the left handlebar of the BMW motorcycle (equivalent to the iDrive rotary controller on the BMW car).

Currently, this set of head-up display equipment can be installed into existing BMW helmets without compromising the comfort of wearing and the safety of the rider. Equipped with two rechargeable rechargeable batteries, the system has a battery life of up to five hours. BMW Motorcycle hopes to realize this innovative technology mass production application in the next few years, further enriching the fun of riding and improving ride safety.

Equipped with laser headlights, the BMW K1600 GTL concept motorcycle is first exposed

Clearly seeing the road conditions and being clearly seen by others has always been the core principle of safe driving of motorcycles, so BMW Motorcycle has always been committed to optimizing the lighting technology of motorcycles. BMW Motorcycles has been equipped with technologies such as follow-up headlights for LED cornering, LED daytime running lights and dynamic brake warning lights to lead the development of motorcycle lighting technology.

BMW laser headlights

At the 2016 North American CES, the BMW K1600 GTL concept car was first equipped with laser headlight lighting technology. This innovative laser lighting technology is derived from the new BMW 7 Series and BMWi8 and is expected to be applied to BMW motorcycles soon. Laser headlights produce exceptionally bright, pure white light with a high beam illumination range of up to 600 meters, twice the size of ordinary led headlights . The new technology brings a wide range of illumination and precise road lighting, significantly improving the safety factor of motorcycles driving at night, and is specially designed for road lighting needs for long-distance travel. In addition, the laser headlights have the advantages of small size, maintenance-free and long life.

At present, BMW Motorcycle Laser Lighting Technology is conducting feasibility testing through the K1600 GTL concept car, and the BMW Motorcycle Division is embarking on the application of this technology in production models. Although the cost of using laser lighting technology on motorcycles is still very high, the cost is expected to decline further as the technology is widely used in the automotive industry.
