It was about five years ago, in 2016, that this Italian bike brand first began to experiment with such a system. Ducati collaborated with the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering an Institution in Milan to develop such a technology. The success of this radar instrument on being tested for the first time proved its practicability, which has encouraged the brand to, within the space of five years, develop the front and rear radar system ready for release along with the Multistrada V4.
