The Brigade is a concept vehicle from Canadian industrial designer Eduardo Arndt, which imagines the [electric motorcycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraviolette-shockwave) as riderless, yet able to keep an ordinary upright position thanks to a gyroscope. Even though the police motorcycle would have no rider to accompany it, this concept imagines that the vehicle could be equipped with a range of sensors, cameras and speakers. As such, there is the potential for The Brigade to issue tickets for small offences itself, leaving more time for people of the police force to devote their attentions to major crimes and safety concerns. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Autonomous Motorcycles:** The development of autonomous motorcycles opens up opportunities for self-driving vehicles in the transportation industry. - **Gyroscopic Technology:** Advancements in gyroscope technology could lead to innovative applications in various industries, such as autonomous vehicles. - **Automated Law Enforcement:** Self-driving motorcycles equipped with cameras, sensors, and speakers can revolutionize law enforcement by automating certain tasks and freeing up officers for higher priority work. ### Who This Affects Most - **Transportation:** Autonomous motorcycles could disrupt traditional modes of transportation, providing a new option for people and businesses. - **Technology:** Gyroscopic technology could have disruptive applications in various technological fields and could lead to further developments that benefit multiple industries. - **Law Enforcement:** Automated law enforcement solutions could free up resources and allow officers to focus on more pressing tasks, creating a safer environment for everyone. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Self-Balancing Stealthy Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motoroid.md) - [Self-Balancing E-Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motoroid-2.md) - [Autonomous Three-Wheeled Task Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-concept-trike.md) - [Self-Balancing Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motoroid-bike.md) - [Hybridized Police Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/police-scooter.md) - [Gas-Free Mountain Patrol Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equuleus-electric-bike.md) - [Autonomous Superhero Transportation Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wr322-ugv-batpod.md) - [Urban Pursuit Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cfmoto-300-gt.md) - [Modular Tech-Rich Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-motorrad-x-nvidia.md)
