BMW announces self driving motorcycle.  I guess you need training wheels for the stop.

A gyroscope to aid in stopping will be in production as soon as color choices are verified.

It would have been funnier if they kept filming it slowing it way down and them running to catch up before it fell over.

A somewhat hijack, but I used to be a diver for AUVSI subs. If they started going wonky, we'd have to catch them and pull a magnetic kill-switch before they got damaged. 1 diver per sub, so performance stress was high :)
