Miniature motorcycle designed by French student can reach up to 40mph

It could easily be mistaken for a children's toy, but this miniature motorcycle is actually a step towards a riderless motorbike. A student in France has designed the tiny two-wheeler, which can travel at up to 40 miles per hour, as part of his Master's project. His aim is to one day produce an entirely autonomous motorcycle that can outperform human riders. Eric Unnervik, a microengineer at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in France has designed a tiny two-wheeler (pictured(, which can travel at up to 40 mph, as part of his Master's project. The bike is fitted with a tiny credit-card sized computer, called the Raspberry Pi, as well as sensors that measure the angle and speed of travel.
