Owing to all these factors, demand for advanced safety system is expected to increase significantly, which in turn, is expected to fuel the demand for motorcycle airbag indsutry.

Software failures associated with sensors

The surge in installation of sensors and devices in motorcycles has made the driving convenient. Furthermore, sensors provide additional services such as music controls, navigation, hands-free calls, and messages. Built-in computer systems and sensors provide a better driving experience, however if mismanaged or incorrectly updated, they can cause catastrophic accidents and injuries. Automotive software failure, depending on where and how it occurs, can place vehicle occupants in severe danger of catastrophic injury. Automotive software has evolved into complicated and sophisticated programs for operating advanced automobile technology and components such as sensors, modules. As the automotive software gets intricate, the risk of failure increases. Many modern vehicles contain multiple electronic control units (ECUs) connected through network connections, most of which are required to perform essential safety systems like collision detection, antilock braking system (ABS), Adaptative Cruise Control (ACC), traction control system (TCS) among others. A company in the automotive supply chain may provide software for ECUs, or the manufacturer may develop and code it. When working with ECUs, one must test the complete system to ensure that all components are working properly. The failure of the vehicle‐™s automated braking and forward collision warning systems might result in accidents and injuries if an ECU has a malfunction. In addition, software bugs create misalignment or disruption in the automotive sensors' real-time environmental monitoring capability. The failure of automotive software and sensors may create negative effect on the performance of airbag system, limiting the growth of the motorcycle airbag market.
