Ford's new smartbike, vibrates to warn you about potholes
Ford announced latest smartbike — the MoDe:Flex, latest concept bicycle has been designed to warn cyclists of upcoming road damage and potholes through a built-in vibration system. Ford says the app comes with an Apple Watch extension that can somehow detect potholes on the road. Riders will feel their handlebars vibrate when they come close to such hazards, but the car company doesn't explain whether the software relies on existing data, is capable of scanning the road ahead, or is simply employing advanced magic to spot the holes. The bike works with an app which provides real-time information on weather, congestion, parking costs, time, traffic, and alternate public transportation.
