BMW Motorrad, the motorcycle division of the German carmaker, claimed to have added a self-riding mode to its S1000 RR superbike that turns any rider into a lap-time hero. “Whether accelerating, braking, gear shifting or steering, with the BMW Motorrad iRace Kit, the RR is able to perform every manoeuvre fully automatically if the rider so desires, enabling him to enter completely new dimensions of motor transport physics,” read BMW’s media release.
Meanwhile late last week Mercedes-Benz sent out a media release announcing that as from April 1 it was laying on a special treat for adrenaline junkies at its Stuttgart museum: indoor skydiving.
