Goodyear Invests In Gatik And Tests Smart Tires On Automated Trucks

DESCRIPTION:

In numerous cities around the world we are increasingly seeing prototype vehicles bristling with sensors and stuffed with computers that are trying to drive themselves around without a human in control. All that technology is cool, but in the end none of it actually matters if a few palm-sized patches of rubber don’t have a firm grip on the road. As the old idiom goes, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link and no matter the technology level, tires a crucial link. That’s why tire makers like Goodyear are increasingly getting involved in advanced mobility projects like Gatik’s automated trucks. 

Gatik is a California-based developer of automated trucks for so-called middle mile applications. These are not vehicles that you’re going to interact with unless you happen to work in a warehouse or retail store where they are making pickups or deliveries. They won’t be dropping off your pizza at the curb or taking you to work. Instead these are for moving goods in business to business applications.
