Goodyear unveils new concept tyres

In Geneva Goodyear has revealed its long-term vision for future smart, connected tyres. The company aims to revolutionise the interaction  between tyres, vehicles and their  surroundings, in an  evolving mobility ecosystem defined by the transition to driverless vehicles and  shared mobility in urban centres,

Goodyear has unveiled the  Eagle 360  Urban, its latest concept tyre, at the Geneva Motor Show. A 3-D  printed sphere is the first concept tyre to be powered by artificial intelligence and  able to  sense, decide, transform and interact.

“A revolution will take place at the intersection of autonomy, mobility and  connectivity. As this unfolds, tyre technology will be even more important than it is  today. To safely navigate their surroundings, the autonomous vehicles of the future  will need to learn to cope with the millions of possible unknowns we face in every  day driving scenarios. To do so they will need access to data and the ability to learn  and adapt,” said Jean-Claude Kihn, president of Goodyear Europe, Middle East and  Africa.
