Pirelli supplies intelligent tyres equipped with sensors DUBAI, February 18, 2021 Pirelli now equips as standard a tyre with sensors that can talk to a car for the first time.
This world premiere of original equipment is thanks to Pirelli’s Cyber Tyre system, made up of a sensor in each tyre that gathers vital data for safe driving, is linked to software integrated into the car’s onboard computer.
The car in question is the McLaren Artura, complete with sensor-equipped tyres: a hybrid supercar packed with technology for an even safer and more involved driving experience.
Cyber Tyre technology offers a plethora of information to the car and driver: the tyre’s ‘passport’ – the type of tyre, whether it’s a winter or summer version, prescribed pressure, load index and speed rating – as well as current running information, such as temperature and pressure.
