Dubbed as IEC, the system can automatically respond to all kind of biking emergencies.

Although emergency systems have been placed in trucks and cars since long, motorcyclists have for some weird reasons have been sidelined, until now.

BMW is the first company to have catered to customers in this market segment. BMW has now introduced the world’s first smart emergency technology for bikes, dubbed as the Intelligent Emergency Call, which aims to provide two-wheelers with a property safety net.

Although the rider himself can trigger the Intelligent Emergency Call, so that a fellow motorist can come help you, but you can see its real magic when the automatic response system kicks in.

Thanks to the array of sensors the IEC can determine whether the bike is in acceleration or whether it’s fallen. It can also tell if the bike has fallen or crashed. Furthermore, it can time the call for help depending on the severity of the accident.

A bad accident will result with the IEC calling for help immediately, while a gentler incident will provide the rider with a delay, so that the call can be cancelled, if necessary. However, if things are dire, the IEC will not only send the call for help, but also provide the rider’s location.

U.S customers will have to hold their horses since the bike’s launch in North America is not going to be anytime soon. Initially, the bike will be launched in Germany in early 2017, from there it will spread to European countries.

Its launch in countries other than Europe is yet to be announced. Don’t lose hope though, once the system is launched by BMW, it’s very likely competitors will pick it up and hopefully it will become widespread among bike manufacturing companies.
