Pirelli’s ‘Cyber Tire’ technology uses a tiny sensor to transmit big data
Partnering with Bosch Engineering to create a lightweight in-tire system to measure various factors, tires can tell the car how to react.
Collaborating with Bosch Engineering—which is well respected in the prestigious world of supercars like Ferrari, McLaren, and Aston Martin and also works closely with typical commuter car manufacturers—the tire manufacturer harnessed the power of the technology giant’s high-end controllers.
