STOCKHOLM, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Damon Motors,
makers of the high-performance, all-electric HyperDrive motorcycle
powertrain and flagship HyperSport and HyperFighter models, has
selected EMQX Enterprise for its forthcoming vehicle data
infrastructure.
Intended to be the "smartest, safest, all-electric motorcycles
on the planet," Damon's vehicles will use a cloud-connected AI
engine and 360º advanced warning system to continually alert the
rider to potential road hazards. The cloud data connection, built
on the world's leading provider of IoT connection solutions, EMQX,
provides a data messaging infrastructure to enable the motorcycle's
onboard AI to improve its guidance over time.
"The EMQX solution is a critical piece of our infrastructure
facilitating Motorcycle connectivity to the cloud, securely and at
scale," said Rob Charter, Director
of Engineering at Damon.
EMQX is a cloud-native Internet of Things (IoT) messaging
platform that scales to 100 million concurrent device connections.
Using open-source clustering technology and open standard IoT
protocols like Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT). EMQX can
securely move large amounts of data from IoT devices such as
vehicle sensors to the cloud and reliably deliver control messages
from the cloud back to devices.
Damon's CoPilot vehicle safety system collects road and ride
data using an array of cameras, radar, and non-visual sensors. Its
onboard neural network continuously scans for potential danger and
alerts the rider through haptic feedback on the handlebar,
integrated windscreen LEDs, front and rearview cameras, and
long-range radar displays.
Using data collected from vehicles and environments around the
world and shared through the EMQX platform, the CoPilot AI will be
able to improve over time to deliver more meaningful interactions
tuned to the individual rider's behaviors.
"What Damon Motors is doing with CoPilot is a huge leap forward
for vehicle connectivity and rider safety," commented Dylan Kennedy, General Manager of EMQ
Technologies. "It requires a fusion of precision sensing, edge
computing, machine learning, and mobility, which is really
impressive. The fact that we provide the data infrastructure with
our best-in-class EMQX solution, helping to create a much safer
environment for the motorcyclist, is very exciting and rewarding
for EMQ."
EMQX also provides native integrations with many services and
databases in the cloud for ease in distributing, processing, and
analyzing vehicle telemetry data. The Internet of Vehicles is
repeatedly turning to EMQ to provide solutions that decrease
network latency and enable hyper scaling.
Damon's HyperSport and HyperFighter motorcycles are available
for reservation now. The CoPilot cloud network is expected to go
live in late 2022 with the first vehicles estimated to ship in
early 2024.
