Motorcycle industry experts including representatives of the CMC (Connected Motorcycle Consortium), European, Asian and American policy-makers and other stakeholders will discuss key issues such as the potential of C-ITS to improve motorcycle safety, the risk of transferring Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) from cars to motorcycles without dedicated engineering solutions, the need for interoperable C-ITS applications, as well as the impact of automated cars on motorcycle safety.
The panellists are:
