Kawasaki Developing Artificial Intelligence for Motorcycles

Kawasaki announced it is working on an artificial intelligence system that would allow a motorcycle to communicate with, and adapt to its rider. The AI would be able to converse with a rider and, using cloud computing and a motorcycle's electronics, adapt the bike's settings to the rider's needs and skills. The AI wouldn't just allow a motorcycle to talk to a rider; Kawasaki says the AI will use a technology called an "Emotion Engine" to interpret a rider's emotions and perhaps even develop its own personality. Kawasaki says the AI will allow a motorcycle to converse (??) with its rider while processing data from the internet (???????) and vehicle information (????). While this may sound like science fiction, the Emotion Engine is already being used in the real world.
