Smart tires will report on the health of roads in new pilot program
- Pirelli is introducing a pilot program with the regional government of Apulia in Italy to utilize its sensor-equipped Cyber Tires.
- The Cyber Tire comes with sensors to monitor temperature and pressure, communicating with the car using Bluetooth Low Energy.
- The technology can identify tire type, wear status, and potentially warn about aquaplaning.
- The pilot program in Apulia involves fitting Cyber Tires to vehicles from Ayvens to assess road conditions through tire sensors and external data sources.
- Data from tire sensors, road cameras, and Univrses technology will be combined in the cloud for analysis.
- The aim is to monitor road health and safety, providing valuable insights.
- Michele Emiliano, president of the Apulia region, emphasizes the importance of the agreement for road safety.
- However, Pirelli faces potential obstacles in the US due to concerns regarding Chinese connected car technology.
- Recent restrictions related to Chinese investments in Pirelli's technology may hinder similar programs in the US.
- The Cyber Tire technology aims to improve road safety and enhance overall driving experience.
