Why they are spending money on this, I do not know. Perhaps future military contracts.

Looks kind creepy, like the robot dogs in Black Mirror.

I don’t like the Yamaha concept design, looks way weird. BMW started experimenting with a self autonomous GS a few years ago and I believe they have already started a self levelling, steering and what not concept of a very futuristic looking bike, some sort of Tron like bike if you know what I mean. It is on a Welt Documentary in YouTube about Motorrad tour of the factory.
