This is the “TFT Connect Platform” developed by Bosch.

It is expected that this platform will be adopted in a variety of commercially available vehicles around the world in the future.
While convenient wireless features like Apple CarPlay have become commonplace on four-wheeled vehicles, using them on a motorcycle display is still not a common occurrence for riders.
The Bosch TFT Connect platform can be linked to a smartphone, allowing riders to access apps on the display while riding while keeping their phone in their bag or pocket. Furthermore, by connecting the platform to a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), precise positioning information can be obtained.
The system supports Linux and Android Automotive, allowing motorcycle manufacturers more flexibility in adapting and integrating content, and providing interface design and content to riders.
The TFT Connect platform also features voice control, allowing riders to manage bike settings such as ride modes using just their voice commands, for example, by incorporating a speaker and microphone into the helmet, significantly improving safety and convenience while riding.
The TFT Connect platform uses Siri and Google Assist to manage and control various apps from a smartphone, allowing users to answer calls, dictate messages, operate the navigation system, and select songs hands-free.
