As autonomous cars move closer to the showroom, it’s clear that they’ll be more than just conventional vehicles minus the driver. It means rethinking every major system down to the tires.
At the 86th Geneva International Motor show, Goodyear has taken the wraps off two concept tires designed for the autonomous cars of tomorrow – including a spherical tire that allow cars to drive sideways and one that can sense road conditions and adapt to them.
New technologies present new problems – and new opportunities. This is particularly true of something as complicated as an autonomous car, which is as much a robot as it is a form of transportation. New sensors, algorithms, and control systems need developing, and this also opens the door for some lateral thinking.
In this vein, Goodyear’s two new concepts start with the need to create new tires suitable for autonomous cars … and then run with it.
Intelligrip
Meanwhile, the Intelligrip is a more realistic concept sporting idea that is already under consideration by car manufacturers. Looking more like a conventional tire, it communicates with the autonomous vehicle’s control system and assesses road surface and weather conditions using advanced sensors. It also monitors the wear on the tire and vehicle as well as tire pressure and temperature.
