The Bike Singularity Is Nigh: The Velo Bike Has An Open Source Brain

The Velo is still a bit of a pie-in-the-sky project but I'd totally be down with it if they made a few in real life. Designed to reduce the "problems" associated with biking - namely collisions and mapping - the bike/microprocessor system is fully electric and connects with your smartphone to perform some very interesting tricks. First, there's collision avoidance that offers haptic feedback when you're about to slam into something. The bike also works with your smartphone for built-in mapping and "drive by wire" control of your brakes and transmission. The creators hope to offer ubiquitous computing built-in for "data sensing, real-time intelligent tracking systems, dynamic routing, and social integration."
