Print HAIFA, Israel — Tactile Mobility Ltd., an Israeli firm active in "virtual-sensing technology" that has applications in autonomous vehicle operating systems, has developed a method it claims can measure tread depth continuously using a vehicle's existing dynamic sensors. Haifa-based Tactile Mobility said its system gathers tactile data such as wheel speed, wheel angle, RPM, etc. from the vehicle's sensors and uses the data to generate "real-time actionable insights," such as warning drivers about tire tread deterioration and its impact on grip. This new technology is an outgrowth of Tactile Mobility's research up to now into road mapping in connection with autonomous vehicle mobility.
