Pirelli and Aston Martin have agreed to collaborate on the integration of Pirelli’s exclusive cyber tire technology into the British ultra-luxury performance brand’s future vehicles. The cyber tire is the first system in the world capable of collecting data and information from sensors located directly in the tires themselves. This data is processed using Pirelli’s proprietary software and algorithms and, in real time, communicates with the vehicle’s electronics to create new functionalities integrated within the driving and control systems.
Cyber tire, in cooperation with Bosch Engineering, will be fully integrated within the electronic architecture that governs the vehicle’s dynamics in future Aston Martin models.
Pirelli cyber tire technology enables the car to gather crucial information from the tires via sensors positioned in the inner part of the tread. This information, processed with Pirelli’s exclusive algorithms, is transmitted to an electronic control unit which optimizes the vehicle’s dynamics. In this way, the performance of the main electronic dynamic driving systems – including ESP, ABS, and traction control – is enhanced by a comprehensive set of tire data not previously available.
Both Aston Martin and Pirelli are dedicated to creating incredible ultra-luxury performance sports cars, and the addition of Pirelli’s cyber tire system is a further technological step enabling Aston Martin’s class-leading performance.
