Bridgestone - Emilio Tibero, Technology Leader innovates by fitting tires with transmitters
Using the data, the tire would send warnings to the driver.
In the Japanese center of Bridgestone, Japan, Emilio Tibero, the company's technology manager said that the first step in the development of smart tires is the introduction of the so-called RFID technology, which identifies the tire.
In the future, the company would first install transmitters primarily on tires for commercial vehicles, which, in addition to rubber pressure, also monitor the condition of the rubber tread. Using this data, the manufacturer can send advice and warnings to customers. Identity even allows for the creation of individual prices, said the specialist.
Emilio Tibero added that in the case of a car sharing service, it is essential for the user of the rubber to share data that is essential for the management of the fleet. Data collection will take place in accordance with the GDPR Principles - indicated.
Emilio Tiberio recalled their latest research, which shows that by 2030, every car will have smart technology that will provide data, 57 percent will be fully electric, and 22 percent will have a self-guiding function.
The chief technology officer said the company will spend $ 800 million annually on research and development, a large part of which will be used to develop future rubber.
According to their surveys, there will be a growing demand for quieter tires, as the number of cars continues to rise. This is also supported by the manufacturer's new tire with Enliten technology, which, according to tests, has a 10 percent lighter and 20 percent lower rolling resistance than previous tires. The lower resistance also results in lower noise levels, lower consumption and thus lower CO2 emissions. @Bridgestone
