It's rolling out a "haptic buzz" alert function that "riders can hear and feel" when they may be in danger of crashing.

I'm sure it's probably the same technology that enables a tomato to fling itself outside of a car going 60km hr when it senses an impending crash.

The last time I ever used it was stupidly down a hill.
