Intelligent Tyre From Siemens And Conti
It is reported that the German company Siemens has developed an “intelligent tyre” in collaboration with Continental. The tyre incorporates small sensors that can give advance warning of wear, low pressure or imminent sudden deflation. They can also detect on-road hazards such as black ice and can help to keep the car under safe control in these conditions.
In addition to the sensor technology, the tyres will be more fuel efficient and last longer. Testing in extreme conditions is currently being carried out and Siemens says that the tyres should be on the market in 2001. Not so, is the reaction of those close to the market, saying that there is no way that the tyre could be produced as a range this year.
