Very interesting technology sophisticated enough to even detect area car drivers eyes to see if they see you or not..
I do think there are still some refinements that are needed however..

Pretty Nice reporter too!!!
I almost jumped out of my skin the first time I saw it but after watching it a few times I think it's supposed to be a joke. At least I hope it's a fake for the riders sake. The truck comes in pretty slow with no horn or brake lock up and the camera is not centered on the bike. Then the rider is on the road way out in front of the truck. Pretty good fake though.

I might would have bought the video except for that claim.
A.I Researchers have spent gazillions of dollars trying for that kind of real world capability.
Let me see :-? professional rider didn't see hugh truck less than 50 ft from him,even on his heads up display, driver of truck didn't bother to even get out of the truck, and the fact that there is not one scrap of motorcycle to be seen on the road after the wreck, hummm, smells a little fishy to me..

Yeah, if motorcycle accidents were that benign in aftereffects, a lot more folks would be riding...
I saw this a little before posted here and I concur with Charles.
I do think it was meant to be a joke.. Not to be taken too seriously guys.. I think it was NO accident that the camera did not follow the bike as it took off..
I will say it is a little hard to NOT take a motorcycle accident seriously and find humor in it..
Oh sure, ignore MY post of this and jump all over Hoots! (see post "wait for it...") ;)
I had not even thought it might be a fake. ONly watched it once cuz it shocked me when the truck came out. Admittedly I was skeptical when she said it would have a heads up display in the helmet. I know fighter pilots have that but figure it aint cheap or easy to do.
With the video editing software available now a days it is not hard to edit a video. If it somehow is real hope the guy was ok.
