The Riding Assist feature harnesses Honda’s robotics expertise to create a bike that can balance on its own – stopping it from collapsing onto a rider.

It could spell the end of accidents while driving at low speeds – something even the most experienced motorcycle rider struggles with

Motorbikes have a tendency to topple over due to their bulky nature, but Honda’s concept appears to stay perfectly upright without anything propping it up.

A fascinating video shows how the concept bike can follow its driver after parking up.

In another scene the super smart bike appears to look from left to right before it exits through a door.

The tech could save bikers’ lives and the motoring industry billions of pounds, Honda Riding Assist Engineer Makoto Araki said during CES.

It’s a misconception that most accidents happen when bikes are speeding.

Accidents often occur when they are going between two and three miles-per-hour as the bike can topple over.

Honda haven’t confirmed when the technology but it’s like the technology will be used in its vehicles sometime soon.

It’s one of many motoring innovations seen at CES.

So far we’ve seen a brand new Toyota driverless car you can ride like a video-game and a self-parking Faraday Future FF91 that failed to live  up to expectations during its live demo.
