The i-Bike (not to be confused with the iBike computer) is the winner of KPIT Sparkle 2016, the All India Science and Engineering Student Contest. It started off as a bicycle suitable for use bypeople with disabilities. If you could use a smartphone, you could ride a bike. But the developers realized that this could be part of a bike-sharing system. You could rent a bike at the train station, ride to work, and then have the bike automatically return to the train station for the next person. Of course, the obvious question is: Will the bike stop at stop signs?

Target practice!
Here I thought that the future would be filled with Jetson flying cars but instead we are reverse engineering robot motorcycles.
Do they autonomously stop at red lights? That’s a deal-killer for most meat on the seat. On the other hand,, if Bernie can make them free…
If they hit a bump, they just lie on the ground with the wheel spinning, going nowhere.
A lot like the brains of pot addicted Bernie supporters here in CA.
