The supplier ZF and the tire manufacturer Goodyear let the car speak to the tire.
ZF and Goodyear announced a collaboration at CES 2024 to integrate Goodyear intelligent tire technologies into the ZF cubiX chassis software. This integration of algorithms enables improved driving dynamics and safety. Goodyear SightLine, a portfolio of intelligent tire technologies, is introduced into the ZF cubiX ecosystem, which is a scalable vehicle motion control software. By providing additional tire and road data, the driving experience is optimized with greater comfort, control and efficiency.
The collaboration aims to provide valuable information about road conditions to support the era of software-defined vehicles. The integrated solution detects aquaplaning situations early and enables optimal speed to improve vehicle control. ZF cubiX intervenes in the chassis control to ensure stability. In addition, the solution improves vehicle response, steering, turn-in behavior and overall stability. The innovative collaboration was honored with the CES 2024 Innovation Award in the “Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility” category.
