B2X COMMUNICATION: SAFER ROADS FOR CYCLISTS

"BREEAAAAK!" the bike screams - figuratively speaking. With B2X, or bike-to-anything communication, bikes can be aware of other vehicles on the road that are out of the rider's view. And vice versa: car drivers can be warned about bikes they did not notice. Melena gets a demo of this technology, which is ready for use on bikes, cars, and beyond. Bosch eBike Systems team leader Christian Cosyns explains it in detail. Meanwhile, Geoff explores the similarities between connected bikes and bats. Scientist Holger Goerlitz examines their ultrasonic calls. Let's hop on the B2X prototype bike and see how connectivity can help make roads less dangerous.
