All technology has to begin somewhere. You don’t just build one prototype that can do everything you ever wanted it to do. Look at traditional cars. Look how long it’s taken them to get where they are. Look at electric cars. Look at autonomous cars. They all started in an essentially useless form, but they grew and changed over time to become what they are today. Hooray, the first prototype of the “stupid robot” isn’t very good at riding a motorcycle yet. Give it time. Obviously it’s still under development and is nowhere beyond the alpha phase.

People like you are the reason that VR died off for more than 20 years, why electric cars never saw any significant commercial improvements in the 80s/90s. Why NASA no longer has any sort of reasonable budget anymore. Always complaining that the technology wasn’t good enough when it was just barely taking its first steps.

Mate you clearly don’t understand machine learning and computational science as the ability to do this is crazy. Pease do some research before becoming an expert. The people working on this are very likely to be much smarter than you.

Guys don’t worry! The MotoBot Ver. 1 is just the test mule for the upcoming 2018 Yamaha YZF-T1 “MotoBot”

You should really consider setting up a “BikeThrottle”, dear CarThrottle.

“Motobot” has nothing on “The Doctor”.

Now, to match the ‘Terminator’ look, all we need now, is a shot gun, coat, face, and a voice.And then full terminator look achieved.

Why does this robot sound like teenage Justin Bieber?
