Greater driving experience.


Pirelli and Bosh are working on something that could revolutionize the way we drive, a software-driven smart tire system, this collaboration unites Bosch's Hardware and Software expertise with the advanced sensor technology that Pirelli integrates directly into the tires.


Over the years we have seen several concept tire ideas from micheli's in aire tires to wheels that deform to adapt to rough terrain, they are innovations that capture the imagination, but the Cyber ​​tire from Pirelli and Bosch seems to be closer. to come true.


Initially introduced as a concept in 2019, this system offers something truly impressive: it collects real-time data from the tires and instantly adjusts software-controlled car functions such as braking and traction according to road conditions.




And how it works;


Each tire is equipped with an advanced sensor connected directly to the car's electronics, this allows the vehicle to adjust its settings automatically based on the data provided by the installed tires.


The main function of this technology is to optimize ABS braking as well as improve stability and traction control all in real time, increasing safety and precision on the roads.


In a joint project with Pagani Bosch created a specific application of the electronic stability program for the Pirello tires installed on the powerful Pagani utopia roadster, an 852 horsepower super sports car equipped with a 6 l biturbo v12 engine.


The tires have sensors that connect to the car's ABS and traction control systems, allowing the best possible use of the unique characteristics of each tire, resulting in a more personalized driving experience with greater control over the vehicle.


The ability to collect, process and transmit data in real time with very low energy consumption directly to the vehicle control system, but of course these Cyber ​​tires will be more expensive than conventional tires, although many drivers will surely be willing to pay more for one. superior driving experience if these tires really deliver on what they promise.
