Goodyear tyre concept targets autonomous ride-sharing vehicles
Goodyear has provided a glimpse of what a future tyre for autonomous ride-sharing electric vehicles could look like.
Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the IntelliGrip Urban concept is intended to maximise uptime and energy efficiency for ‘Mobility as a Service’ providers in urban environments.
The concept tyre senses road and weather conditions, enabling the car to optimise speed, braking, handling and stability while also sending the information to the cloud to benefit the whole fleet.
It can also enable fleet operators to identify and resolve tyre-related and potential safety issues, including scheduling proactive maintenance.
The tyre also brings a tall and narrow shape to increase energy efficiency and range in urban environments while the specially designed tread provides grip in both winter and summer conditions in urban environments.
