I’d be ok with ACC. We have it in our car, and it works great. But, I don’t engage CC in slippery conditions, and turn it off on tighter curves.

That's what people said about disc brakes.

It's not going to stop either, so might as well make the cars more idiot-proof since bigger idiots keep coming out of the woodwork.
I agree about the general stupidity of drivers these days, but I also think all these systems make them even worse, since they really have no incentive to improve their "skills".

To be honest it angers me that these systems even exist, cause it really drives home how few people who are behind the wheel SHOULD even be there, at all!

Cheers!

Uhh. I’ve been driving a vehicle with emergency braking for three years and have had several instances when it brakes hard when it shouldn’t. It happens when there is a car beside me slowing down and I am in the other lane passing by. Only happened a few times but very ****ed up when it does.

I am a visionary by nature but there is no flipping way this would work on a bike in my mind. When it happens in a car, you get jerked from the seat belt, on a bike you flip over the bars.

I suppose the Moco can patent anything they want but doesn’t mean that with today’s technology it’s gonna work.

You know what comes to mind with this ? Boeing thought they had a better idea where the computer could override the pilots and we all know how well that's been working out for them.

Meanwhile Harley sucks hind tit because they think they're good enough to not need to add anything because their customers don't like change.

No, wait, I'm not surprised at these responses. It's nothing short of what I'd expect from Harley blue-bloods.

Oh HERE we go... Go ahead, pull skeletons out of every closet you can find about me. Low hanging fruit, that's your style isn't it?

I also have a 2016 BMW GS that works flawlessly.

Didn't mention anything about either bike, wasn't even in mind, just wonder why it's always hate Harley and/or the people, or in your style, it should be nothing short what I expect from you?

Still don't think you ride much , now go finish the Evo, been waiting, I like that thread.

Sheesh. It's just HD trying to patent something. Nobody says it's ever going to appear on your bike. Companies patent stuff all the time that never makes it to market. Sometimes they patent it on purpose so they can sue other companies that may have a similar idea, or trade with them to licence other patents.

Unwad your panties....
