Pirelli's Smart Tires Hit the Road in Italian Pilot Program
2025-06-14
Pirelli is launching a pilot program in Apulia, Italy, using its sensor-equipped Cyber Tires to improve road conditions. These tires monitor temperature, pressure, and wear, communicating with the car via Bluetooth Low Energy. Instead of relying on crowdsourced data from private vehicles, the program will use tires fitted to a fleet of rental cars. By analyzing data from the tires, algorithms can infer road surface roughness, informing infrastructure improvements. This technology holds promise for wider adoption, enhancing driving safety and comfort.
