Pirelli and Bosch have announced a joint development agreement to integrate sensors into tires, aiming to boost vehicle safety, comfort, sustainability, and driving dynamics. Announced on Tuesday, the new technology will enable tires to act as an extension of vehicle sensing systems, providing real-time data to onboard computers for optimized vehicle responses to varying road conditions.
This innovation has already been showcased with special Pirelli tires designed for the Pagani Utopia supercar, where tire data is directly fed into a Bosch stability control system. This collaboration highlights the potential for advanced tire technologies to improve driving experiences significantly.
However, the impact of such technologies like sensor-embedded tires on electric vehicles (EVs), which face unique challenges such as higher curb weights and increased tire wear due to torque-rich motors, remains unaddressed. Competing tire manufacturer Michelin is exploring airless tires as a sustainable solution for EVs, aimed at reducing waste and accommodating heavier vehicle weights.
As the automotive industry continues to evolve, tire technology remains a crucial aspect of vehicle performance and efficiency.
