Yamaha has unveiled a self-riding electric motorbike that features no handlebars or other standard controls. The Yamaha Motoroid 2 is the next generation of the firm’s Motoroid concept bike first revealed in 2017, but unlike its predecessor, Yamaha has built a working prototype of the latest vehicle. The self-balancing bike features gyroscopes and image recognition AI systems to stay upright and navigate roads, while also being capable of riding itself without anyone aboard. “Motoroid 2 is a vehicle for personal mobility that can recognise its owner, get up off its kickstand and move alongside its rider,” the company said. “[It] has a distinctly lifelike feel when somebody is riding on its back and has a presence more like a lifetime companion.” Yamaha plans to show off the prototype of the Motoroid 2 at the Events Japan Mobility Show 2023 in Tokyo next month. It is not clear whether Yamaha plans to release a production model of the bike, however its continued development suggests that the automotive giant is working to integrate at least some of its features into future motorcycles. Self-driving technology is increasingly common in production vehicles, though it is currently limited to four-wheeled cars and trucks. Some have even considered eschewing steering wheels, with Tesla chief executive Elon Musk originally planning to build a fleet of self-driving electric taxis that have no visible user controls. The plan was reportedly sidelined after company executives noted that regulators in most major markets require steering wheels and pedals on vehicles. Several motorcycle manufacturers have unveiled concept bikes that require no rider to operate. BMW’s ConnectedRide retrofits the company’s R 1200 GS Adventure with autonomous technology to serve as a “testbed for advanced motorcycle safety” equipment that it hopes to introduce to its production models. “In a future world of autonomously driving cars, being connected will be an urgent requirement for all motorcycle segments,” BMW’s Markus Schramm said in 2020. “This will enhance safety and ensure that motorcycling remains future-proof.” Read More Reinventing the seatbelt for the self-driving era

A haunting Jimmy Savile interview with Louis Theroux has resurfaced following the release of Channel 4's The Reckoning. In the clip from 2001, Savile seems to be pushing the boundaries, confronting accusations that were proven true following his death. “[If] you said to me, ‘You are alleged to have…[done something improper]’...", he began, turning up to the journalist's offices in an inappropriate outfit consisting of a fishnet vest and shorts. “My answer would be, ‘It would be a lot worse if it were true’.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter

A dermatologist has gone viral on TikTok for sharing body parts you should be washing more. In a clip that's racked up over 3.3 million views, Lindsey Zubritsky (@dermguru) kickstarts with the ears. She said if you have "an odour" when you place your finger behind your ears, you need to be washing that area more. If not, "flaking and dandruff" can build up and make the skin situation much worse. Up second is the belly button. Lindsey states that it "is a super common area to collect sweat, debris, dirt buildup," before sharing a gruesome image of a "navel stone" if you begin to neglect your belly button. The dermatologist then urges people to really take care of their nails. "When you’re showering, you really need to get under those nails with a scrub brush to get rid of the dirt, debris, and buildup," she told viewers. She went on to explain that these common areas are at risk of carrying MRSA, a group of difficult-to-treat infections in humans. @dermguru Think twice next time you take a shower #showertok #skintips #hygienetips #dermguru #staph #mrsa #skininfection #folliculitis #dermexplains#greenscreen Inevitably, the clip was inundated with fellow TikTok users, with one writing: "Absolutely blows my mind people aren’t scrubbing the nails, esp long ones. Just get a cheap toothbrush and scrub with soap. Every day!" Another confused user asked: "Wait who isn’t cleaning these areas?" A TikTok user, who claimed to work as a nurse, added: "I can confirm many people DO NOT clean their belly buttons enough." Meanwhile, a fellow TikToker wrote "wait who isn’t cleaning these areas," to which Lindsey responded: "Momma knows best."
