Gesture-activated controls are common in computing and handheld devices, but that's an entirely different domain than a motorcycle speeding down the highway. I really wish the bright young engineers at BMW would tumble to the fact that while gadgetry is neat and impressive, continued execution of the basics with precision and reliability is what sells in the long run. Perhaps their attention could be turned to assuring we don't see any more failing fuel gauges, broken driveshafts and final drives, brakes that don't get recalled before they are even sold, and valve trains that don't self-destruct from failed metallurgy. I'd take all of that, or even part of it, over any new whiz-bang technology they can turn out.
I heard somewhere the number one complaint by consumers regarding their cars was the tech stuff. The more high tech wiz bang stuff added the more to go wrong. That is with cars, why would anyone riding motorcycles want to go down that path as well?
