Predictive Vision for Motorcycles

artificial intelligence

It’s not a matter of if but when I get back on the saddle. With a joint interest in AI and motorcycles, this is a most interesting development to counter the zombie shit-puppetry of many four wheelers.

a fusion of Artificial Intelligence (Neural Networks) and Computer Vision designed to seamlessly integrate with the motorcycles, utilizing only standard cameras as visual sensors. CAT™ recognizes and analyzes only relevant threats without the need for expensive hardware and without disturbing the rider’s critical focus.
 CAT™ footage analysis is built to use any sensors available on a motorcycle, significantly reducing production cost and providing freedom of modularity to manufacturers.

Super Freak

Rick James

Born on this day.

It was about three in the morning. We had just put the horn parts on “Give It to Me Baby” when I was sitting in front of the console with my bass. I wasn’t trying to write. I was just noodling. This bass line came out of nowhere. Four descending notes. Nothing particularly striking. It was cheesy, but it was also catchy. I couldn’t stop playing it. At the same time, I started singing, “She’s a very kinky girl…” I was about to stop — the whole thing sounded a little dumb — when one of my cats said, “Cut it, Rick.”
“You crazy?” I asked.
“No man, it’s cool. It’s hypnotic.”
I kept playing the riff and realized that it was hypnotic. Right then and there I had the engineer hook up a mic and started singing the story as it came to me — this story of a super freak. I never wrote down a word. Made it up on the spot.
