Castrol Develops a Motorcycle-Riding Robot


Castrol Develops a Motorcycle-Riding Robot

In a news item that we will use to mark the beginning of the end of humankind, Castrol has introduced it’s motorcycle riding robot named Flossie. We have no idea why they named this thing Flossie but we assume it’s because Terminator was already taken.

The robot has an interesting duty. It rides motorcycles on the dyno so engineers can check engine performance and wear over long periods of time. Humans need to pee, eat lunch, and take a smoke break, but Flossie can literally go forever without stopping.

It’s just a matter of time people. First the ‘bots were painting cars in factories, now they are riding motorcycles.

RideLust has the full story, with video here.
