Cars without tyres are like humans without legs.At Geneva,Goodyear just displayed a new version of what could be the tyres of the future .Some of you might have seen it science fiction ,but soon enough it would become reality.

The new version looks way more “techy” and “smarter” and cooler.

Here is what the previous version looked like :

Let me give you a quick breakdown

Highlights
-Its 3D printed
-Its spherical
-Its connected to your car by magnetic levitation (simplified -it won’t be mechanically connected to the car,it would be suspended away from the -car but connected to it magnetically)
-Since its spherical you can drive sideways without actually needing to drift the normal way you would on regular tyres.
-It has sensors that detects the road conditions and adjust the speed of the car depending on the road condition(for example slowing down on a rough road).
-The sensors on the tyre also periodically monitor the wear and tear on the threads and alerts you when needed.
-This is a video of the presentation of the previous version:

Not much difference , but minor improvements.

What do you think ?

Would you like to drive ,with one of these tyres ?

So the car can roll in any direction

GAZZUZZ:
I need to see how the ball will fit on the wheel before I comment

That means you didnt read it sir ,it would fit by magnetic levitation

bjt:
So the car can roll in any direction

yup

For this to work the whole car concept would be changed.


As if e concern me?

It was created with autonomous cars in mind

Hmmmmm.....now that interesting....hope it will be a go in our generation

GAZZUZZ:


you are right, but still need to see how it will look in the wheel arc.

You can check the video out.

how are we supposed to drift, or do burnouts with these things?

Simple , just drive sideways, no need to drift

just thinking about it is so boring... ahmean, where's the fun in that?

seen the video ?

Donald3d:
seen the video ?

yes.

Magnetic levitation? What happens to all the loose bolts, nut, nails on our roads?

Motion sickness.

and i never get normal car....ok....kontinue

Well this is nice, those of us that watch sci-fi movies, would surely have interest in it.

How do we take out this from cars. Definitely this would be much more heavier than the conventional tyres engineers have suffered
