So far, 2012 is a year full of auto innovations from the rotary shifter to the pedestrian air bag, and now, German scientists are working on all-weather tires that would work on snow and ice as well as they work in off-road driving.
This cutting-edge project is being conducted by researchers at the University of Applied Sciences in Leipzig, Germany. Their so-called “smart tires” are fitted with electronic sensors that can tell the difference between a variety of road conditions, and the tire’s profiles will change and adapt for optimal driving.
Detlef Riemer, the head of the research team, spoke about the project at the Hanover Fair and was very enthusiastic about the project’s possibilities. “The driver no longer has to think about adapting their tires,” he explained. “The tire itself ‘thinks’ too.”
