OCC Intel Chopper
Intel
is marking its 30th anniversary
in the embedded systems market with some
new chips and a stylish new
motorcycle from Orange County Choppers that
employs embedded technologies.
The
chopper employs fingerprint recognition as the ignition
mechanism, so only the authorized
owner can fire it up. The bike also
boasts GPS navigation, and uses cameras
instead of rear-view mirrors to display the full rear
view on the computer screen. The
gauges and kickstand are
digitally controlled.
Doug
Davis, vice
president and general
manager of the embedded and
communications group
at Intel, said
Orange County
Choppers had to
do a lot
of collaboration
with Black Diamond
Advanced Technology, a
developer of ultra-mobile
computing systems, to
protect the systems
from the exposure of being
on a motorcycle.
