宝马展示未来式的自动平衡摩托车



Los Angeles (AFP) - The motorcycle of the future is so safe riders can cruise without helmet -- all of the thrills with none of the danger -- according to BMW.

洛杉矶（法新社）——未来式的摩托车是如此之安全，驾驶员可以不用戴头盔——就是这种有惊无险的感觉，宝马公司如是说。

The German automaker unveiled on Tuesday its Motorrad Vision Next 100, a sleek, self-balancing prototype the company released as part of its 100th anniversary celebrations.

这家德国汽车制造商周二公布了宝马摩托Vision Next 100，这是一款时髦且自动平衡的原型车，作为宝马公司100周年庆典活动的一部分内容而发布了这款摩托车。

The zero-emissions bike has self-balancing wheels designed to stand upright even at a complete stop, stability that the company says will allow riders to forgo riding a helmet.

这款零排放摩托车有自动平衡车轮，即使停止不动而能保持挺立，该公司称其稳定性之高连戴头盔都没必要。

"Its self-balancing system will help protect the rider at any time," said Edgar Heinrich, the design director of BMW's motorcycle division. "Any late reaction from the driver will trigger and the vehicle will balance out."

“其自动平衡系统将可以在任何时候保护驾驶者，”宝马摩托车部门的设计主任说。“如果驾驶员反应较慢，这个系统就会激活，从而实现自动平衡。”

"In the future, motorcycle riders will be able to enjoy riding without protective gear."

“未来，摩托车驾驶员不戴保护装备就可以享受到驾驶的乐趣。”

It's not the tipping over that requires a helmet. It's the crash and subsequent impact with an immovable object.

头盔的作用不是为了防止翻倒。而是为了在和固定物体撞击时保护驾驶员。

Really??? So they think a motorcyclist wear helmet because he cannot balance a motorcycle while riding? What a stupid statement by BMW!!

Anyone who rides a motorcycle without a helmet is just plain S T U P I D. Just ask Gary Busey.

骑摩托车不戴头盔的人都是傻子。 问问加里•布塞就知道了。

Ride without a helmet? What a stupid statement, what happens when some moron on his or her cell phone runs into you?

骑车不戴头盔？真他妈蠢的言论，如果某人开车时玩手机撞到你会有什么后果？

Self balanced motorcycle great , But how is it "safe" if their are no handles ,and don't require a helmet , please I wouldn't want to risk my life or anyone's life riding that thing .

自动平衡摩托车听起来是很棒，但是没有把手而且还不要求戴头盔，这安全吗？我可不想因为骑这玩意而葬送了自己或者他人的命。

the day I can't hold up my bike, is probably a good day to give up the bike.

如果哪一天我连摩托车的重量都支撑不住，那那一天就是我开始放弃骑摩托车的日子。
