Spherical tires for the cars of the future

Two revolutionary concept tires unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show, the Goodyear, which, as hopes the company, could play an important role in shaping the future of the autonomous car.
This is for global Eagle 360, the design of which was made keeping in mind the flexibility, interconnectivity and biomimicry in the field of autonomous vehicles, while the IntelliGrip integrates advanced sensor technologies and tires and ενδείκνυεται for those who wish to make the bold first step in the direction of autonomous/ αυτοοδηγούμενων vehicle.
According to the company, and in both cases the design has been done with emphasis on safety, which is of particular concern among consumers with regard to autonomous vehicles. As he said Joseph Ζεκόσκι, vice president and chief technical officer of the company, the gradual reduction of the control of the driver in autonomous vehicles means that the tires will play an increasingly important role, as the key “link” with the road.
The Eagle 360 is extracted directly from a science fiction movie and allows the car unprecedented flexibility, increased safety, and easier parking. With regard to the διασυνδεσιμότητά, has built-in sensors that transmit data for the road and for a long time in the control system and to other nearby vehicles while monitoring and the status of the same tyre. Now, the burning question, that is exactly how they stay in their place, the answer is equally futuristic in nature: Through a system of magnetic levitation.
The IntelliGrip is specifically designed to communicate with the control systems of autonomous vehicles, “αισθανόμενο” the surface of the road and weather conditions, and enhanced security and performance. The sensors “read” the weather and the road surface, while at the same time monitor the “health” of the tyre. Advanced algorithms determine the reaction/ response of the tyre in terms of variables such as pressure and temperature. Generally, this tyre is designed to provide the autonomous vehicle as much information as possible, so as to adjust the speed and movement.
The company is already working with car manufacturers to adapt this technology to their needs. Although, as mentioned above, it is concepts, in the Ζεκόσκι are a very important part of the strategy of Goodyear and its vision of “smart” and safe motoring.
