New research make your tyres talk

The Goodyear Tyre & Rubber Company and Dutch research organisation TNO are collaborating on a test to illustrate and test the implications and results when a vehicles tyres can communicate with its anti-lock braking (ABS) system. Goodyear believes this technology will reduce stopping distance by about 30 per cent. “There is a tremendous opportunity when you consider the information the tyre can convey to the vehicle in a connected environment,” said Chris Queen, Goodyear senior director, innovation technology. “TNO has a like-minded commitment to a better future, and we are excited to advance this demonstration to see how we can continue to improve vehicle performance.” Source: Quickpic
