Goodyear SPHERICAL TIRE Presentation - Future Tire Technology
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2016
- Goodyear presented a vision of a future tire that looks radically different from tires today - it’s spherical
Goodyear unveiled its latest concept tire, Eagle-360, at the Geneva International Motor Show. The spherical, 3-D printed tire highlights Goodyear’s vision for the future and presents an inspiring solution for the long-term future when autonomous driving is expected to be more mainstream.
According to a recent study from Navigant Research, 85 million autonomous-capable vehicles are expected to be sold annually around the world by 2035, for example. According to the J.D. Power 2015 U.S. Tech Choice Study, consumers are most concerned with ensuring safety through technology in autonomous cars.

The Goodyear future tire is virtually indestructible except for a small thermal exhaust port barely large enough for a womp rat to fit through.
Gewgulkan Suhckitt try saying that a to a fucking artillery shell.
xXx_MLGPRO_xXx
It's a Star Wars reference. The thing looks like a Death Star. The first Death Star had a single vulnerable spot two meters wide. It was a thermal exhaust port. Luke Skywalker said something like, "I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters." That's where I got the womp rat reference from.
***** yeah, I knew it was a reference I just thought that couldn't they have a precise shot from a future sniper or something?
I died laughing
You didnt catch the reference..... You very clearly, did not catch the reference.

'Magnetic levitation' - that's gonna take a bung load of energy.
It's also gonna need technology we don't have.
What do you mean by ”technology we don’t have”?
magnetic levitation is not that hard.
usually you'd take an arangement of coils, apply a special pattern of AC to each coil.
when you bring copper (or any non-magnetic+conductive material) close to it, the coils will induce a current in the copper. the copper turns the enduced current into a magnetic field wich opposes the ones of the coils.
not sure if i really need to clarify that, but its not verry efficient
Haven’t you ever heard of a magnet train?
@@tobbleboii5988 now what technology would allow people to attach these tired to a car via magnetic levitation and control the direction they spin?
More alien tech obtained by negotiating with gray aliens.
Someone already thought of this 14 years ago, when the _I, Robot_ film was in production.
What will _really_ impress me is if Goodyear manages to figure out the _hard_ parts of future car design, like developing a power plant that is both compact and powerful enough to actually use this kind of tire.
This wouldn't need any more energy than normal tires so i don't know what you're on about
@@nadarith1044 Sustained maglev suspension is far beyond the limits of a modern internal comustion engine.
@@PaxTorumin ?!!?!?!???!?!?!
_"Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) is the magnetic levitation of an object achieved by constantly altering the strength of a magnetic field produced by electromagnets using a feedback loop. In most cases the levitation effect is mostly due to _*_permanent magnets as they don't have any power dissipation, with electromagnets only used to stabilize the effect.
.._*
_...Magnetic levitation technology is important because it _*_reduces energy consumption, largely reduces friction. It also avoids wear and has very low maintenance requirements._*_ The application of magnetic levitation is most commonly known for its role in Maglev trains."_
you do realize that active magnetic suspension is for example used in things like magnetic bearings, which not only use very little power but have a variant that is entirely passive and uses permanent magnets? magnetic suspension is actually more energy efficient than anything mechanical by far due to massively decreasing energy loses caused by friction
the idea that they need massive power is simply wrong, they would need *less* power than normal wheels
@@nadarith1044 Hm. After a bit of research it turns out rare earth magnets are neither rare, nor terribly expensive. Not even neodymium. I had assumed the maglev portion of the vehicle would be "active," using magnetic coils that require continuous power flow, rather than a passive effect provided by natural magnets. This would probably be a very efficient design after all.
I guess the real reason we don't have tires like this is probably related to R&D costs or mass production issues.
@@PaxTorumin A big reason of why technologies like these (that aren't fundamentally orders of magnitude inferior in performance and actually can be a viable alternative if developed enough) aren't widely used or developed can be chalked to the general aversion to radically different technologies in industry in general, not just development and production cost that's unfavorable when compared to more mature technologies with decades of streamlining but also the way people don't like new and different things alongside the dunning-kruger effect
one only has to look at ridiculous 'design flaws' people with no knowlegde of engineering or very basic knowlegde of mechanical principles at work invent on videos of various garage prototypes people made of spherical 'wheels' or really any demonstration of unfamiliar technology including even the maglev trains which tend to receive that treatment from many in the west to realize that people have a tendency to overinflate and outright invent flaws and inefficiencies for anything new (at the same time obvious scam stuff like compressed air driven engines somehow receive the 'goverment blocked this technology' and 'it's a miracle tech just needs some more work!' treatment from many so go figure)
i can easily imagine a situation where the first person to start working on creating the 'motorized horseless carriage' decided to eschew the wooden wheels of carriages at the time in favor of roller driven roughly patterned balls citing the cramped nature of cities and countryside or something similar, and continued development on that instead in sheer bloody mindedness until it was made to work good enough with solutions like coating contact surfaces and the balls with rubber that deforms to some degree for a greater contact patch or having a basic suspension where free-rolling rollers on springs hold the ball tightly regardless of how uneven the surface of it is, then the resulting prototype automobiles would be used as a starting point for everyone else
a century later and any garage prototype that used actual wheels would be ridiculed with having overblown 'flaws' and 'low efficiency' like 'but all the force of the motor would need to go through a single shaft it would break easily!' and 'it needs an entirely different drive train setup just imagine the complexity and cost!'
as long as competing technologies aren't massively unequal in efficiency luck and what was developed first are actually greater factors than simple efficiency or cost-benefit analysis, and when one technology is much more mature than another the new one will have incredible difficulty getting to the market, needing decades of development to become on par, this holds true even in cases where said tech would actually be objectively better and more efficient
Oh look, *_another cool 'futuristic' invention that we'll never see or hear from again_* except maybe in 50 years.
yup
Oscy nah it's about 19 years
Yeah it's one of those things that we can actually do, but we never do anything about it, so we just use the shitty outdated version forever.
well there are several problems , the first is how are they attached , second is how do you supply power to these ? so far it is nothing more than a over priced rubber bouncy ball
Tobias James I think somehow the smart people who created this thought about those two issues.

Well considering we thought we'd have flying cars back in the 90's and early 2000s I highly doubt that we will be seeing these anytime in the next 30 years.
I mean, even the crappiest of phones nowadays is more powerful than the rocket that sent the first humans to the moon was so it’s not impossible.
@@rickard1200 I'm sure it's possible. They already have Trains that run on a magnetic system. It just isn't practical or affordable, not to mention it probably wouldn't do well in snowy conditions because of snow and ice clogging up the wheel wells.
We are long way off, but this is definitely the future for Cars. Parking would take seconds!
we have flying cars now.
Flying cars were invented in 1934. Planes just make more sense. You don't want to look up and see a bunch of flying objects in the air as opposed to one big object carrying all those people to where they need to be.
If I'm not mistaken those were the same tire & car configurations From I Robot...
I think that's where they got the idea lmao
Guess that predicted this.
OShit.
I can see it now. "Back in my day we use to drive with cylindrical wheels."
maybe he meant "Circular"
pretty sure he meant cylindrical, as in every modern tire
Grandpa, go back to your room, you are drunk again. circle tires....
Didnt realize my car drove on 2d tires ^^. tmyk
Spherical is what's shown in the video.
Just a few things I've noticed:
1. Say you're at 100km/h and you want an emergency brake, how will a magnetic system fare against actual metal pistons?
2. If the magnet is that strong how much power would it consume?
3. Wouldn't such a strong magnet attract magnetic debris such as iron nails?
4. Suppose someone forgot to turn off the system power and is somehow doing a tyre change, would he/she be electrocuted by a strong current for touching the wrong places? Or maybe his/her metallic watch will get stuck to the magnetic device and crush his/her wrist?
5. Just how expensive is this tyre compared to the already expensive normal tyres?
6. Are the magnetic/electrical components within the tyre delicate and prone to damage due to strong impact like obstacles on the road?
7. What happens if your car runs out of power, will the wheels roll off?
8. Ferromagnets lose functionality when temperature is high, would the wheel malfunction on hot tar roads on a sunny day?
9. Is Goodyear going to manufacture a brand new type of car just to use these tyres? How heavenly would it cost?
10. The tyres auto-communicating with other tyres doesn't sound safe at all.
11. If you park so close to each other laterally how do you plan to get out/in of your car? And how do you plan to move out of the car park if the cars are parked head-to-tail of each other?
12. How much can we trust a system so dependent on automation?
13. How complicated/counter-intuitive would steering become?
14. The wheels travel independent of the direction the car is facing, would that result in more accidents?
15. All it takes is to spray some ferromagnetic material to whatever surface your wheels are attracted to, and your vehicle is completely wasted.
There are more but these problems are already bad enough.
6. Probes are landed on Mars and survive the impact.
7. The car sits on the tyres.
9. Different companies can make compatible products for mutual profit.
10. I don't know that the tyres _do_ talk to each other.
11. You get in and out _before_ completing the parking procedure.
12. How can we fly in planes?
13. There's such a thing as a computer. Expensive cars already have four-wheel steering, dependent on the speed, that is completely transparent to the driver.
Great questions. I personally know I wouldn't depend on something 100% automated that I have no control over.
The one you asked about loss of power is something that already crossed my mind.
Since it works on energy, what happens to the car when the tyres drain of energy.
Pilots are still required to fly manually when they can to keep trained for an eventuality such as this which actually happened: a plane crashed into the water at 150mph instantaneously killing all occupants after a sensor froze and since the pilot had mostly flown under auto pilot he made much more mistakes than he would have done if he was flying manually the whole time. No safety critical system should rely on automation for it to be functional thats just dangerous. Automation should only be applied in a way that assists the human in control but keeps the human in control at all times so when something does go wrong they can act accordingly.
megaspeed2v2 "Automation should only be applied in a way that assists the human in control but keeps the human in control at all times so when something does go wrong they can act accordingly."
I love that.
That's entirely dependent on how good your automation is. Both humans and electromechanical devices have an error rate. If the error rate of an electromechanical device is significantly lower than the error rate of a human operator, the electromechanical device should take precedent. Activities like piloting vehicles are outside of a humans evolutionary "design parameters" (remember, we evolved to hunt, forage, and survive predators, not pilot tons of metal at hundreds of mph), the fact that we can do it at all is a testament to biological adaptability, but it is still eminently feasible to design a purpose-built system which is superior to a human for that specific task. As a counterpoint to the example you give, it should be noted that the most common cause of aviation disasters by far is human error, and several disasters have been caused by pilots overriding, or air traffic controllers ignoring warnings from, automated systems.
I just got these for my civic, they handle great.

OH LOOK! No more engine compartment or trunk space!
And your non-existent engine can now transfer _ZERO_ foot-pounds of torque through your non-existent drive train!
HAHA!!
Electronic recharging battery + Electro-magnetism + specialised operating system + weight distribution = a car that only needs space for a battery, computer hardware, charger port and seats. Not to mention without the option for user controlled actions, you would save a shit ton of space saved in the car already
We get it, You understand how an axel based car works. This car doesn't have axels. Nor would have a need for a petrol based engine. And seeing as it doesn't have axels, would consume less energy from the basic actions that syphon momentum (and therefore energy) from the current output.
Well done on picking up a concept wrong.

Lol this guy has no idea about electric vehicle torque
Zoe Ama and you have no idea about magnetical levitation
future tires will be cubes,trust me,cubes can do much more...
theodoros tsilikis I'm hoping for triangle, but that will be painful for your butt.
theodoros tsilikis you see everyone's looking in the wrong direction the answer isn't sphere, square or triangle the only logical choice for shape is trapezoid
wouldn't cubes make for a very bumpy ride?
son that's too much minecraft for you
theodoros tsilikis How? You'd have to make the roads bumpy so that the wheels could correlate to a 360° smooth rotation.
I just keep on rolling “limp bizkuit”
2019 is basically like living in the 1300's compared to when this stuff is mainstream
So, umm, they reinvented the wheel? ...
Best comment i found here :)
Michael Robinson 😀 noup! They invented something that car which levitate doesn't need.
umm yeah, someone needs to update the definition of that idiom soon...lol
Michael Robinson No, it's a tire.
In the future, we will be rolling in a ball capsule.
Yeah but what about our dank ass rims
Led screens on the outside of the car, then Download .mp4 (or whatever) files with rims on the internet and show the it on the screens :-D
TheFilledk still dont like it, what about the drift D:
the car well be able to drive sideways
Unnown user, if the rear tyres are configured to behave like ordinary rear wheels, then this car can drift just as well as any other car :) Just because the tires are round doesn't mean they have infinite grip, or necessarily have to roll sideways if you don't want them to
less surface area of the tire would be touching the ground for a round tide then regular, so there would be far less traction for sure.
I imagined something like this recently, I guess it wasn't as crazy as I thought since major companies are working on it. In my mind I pictured one large spherical tire in the center of the vehicle. The car body would be more like a square or torus shaped passenger hub where everyone sits around the wheel.
The thing that has always annoyed me about the current design of cars and traffic is that it works best while moving forwards, but as soon as someone miscalculates a turn, tries to merge too early, or gets in some kind of jam, traffic needs to move backwards an everything comes to a halt, all because cars don't have lateral movement.
It will take a lot of time to implement these technologies no matter what the design is, because the roads, homes and parking bays that exist now are all designed around the current car technology. One cityscape that always inspired me was in the movie Minority Report, where cars could move vertically along wall-roads, and also rotate on the spot to fit onto roads of different width.

How about theres no tires instead? HOVERCARS!!!
hover on what? free energy? wishfull dreams? dank memes?? magic fairy dust???
sorry you hover-cars are in another reality.
Nekogami-Crystal we already have hover cars dumb ass. they just aren't useful so we choose to not fund that market.
hell with some know how and scrap you could convert any car into a hover car. you just won't be able to turn well.
Nekogami-Crystal theyre already inn development, actually. you must be so close minded to think like that. even a lil child can think a magnet force can make somethin hover . not your fairy dust shit
This paired with electromagnetic suspension would be incredible.
Josh Peck: Spherical!!!
"You would'nt re-invent the whee... oh wait!"
Iohane A oooohhh wee
I believe in the future of technology.
The wheel is the most reinvented thing on earth.
Truth Space how? The only thing that’s changed is the material there made of
Jesse Ridgeway
A modification is re-inventing. Inventions are not necessarily a completely original idea. Most inventions are just modified versions of something that already exists. That's why products are an evolution. A wheel is simply a round object designed to rotate around a central axis. There are millions of objects that fit a wheel description.
Finally I will be able to parallel park!
not for a woman it is
Ugh it would be a breeze with this tech lol
Parallel parking refers to parking at the side of the road, often with one car in front and one car behind the slot you want to get your car into. Doors are usually pavement-side and road-side, so you wouldn't have difficulty getting out of the car.
In the situation you're talking about (which is not parallel parking), presumably you get out and tell the car to park itself. Either way you're not stuck in the car.
May be your grand-son will be able to use this technology

oh yeah now I can do those sick 360s as I'm going to work
The rims manufacturers pants dropped 🤣
zatox But...but what about dubs and those spinny things.
And where do you put the air in?
more sensors means more problems
Fewer moving parts can also mean less problems. Maybe it will even out.
Afaik, sensor technology is known to be very sensitive to all sorts of influences and break under those influences. Cars experience a very wide range of influences that can cause sensor malfunctions. I mean anybody with simple fucking parking sensors i know of has relied on it and had a bump-in due to malfunction. We're a long way from being able to make robust sensors.
On top of that, the power transfer to the spheres, what will make em rotate? I'd guess that such a system either requires high amounts of current which batteries can't provide for a long enough time or it would be very delicate and not powerfull enough to propell a car.
I don't mind the dreaming, i do mind that it's presented as something that is already practical.
AwoudeX This is a concept, and the whole reasons behind concepts is to analyse the flaws and challenges and adapt it to future technologies.
Flying cars for example, they don't exist and will probably not get invented, but the whole venture has allowed us to study levitation more in depth...
like biggie said mo senors mo problems
Matthew Hemmings Well some guy did develop one. But large scale manufacturing got shot down
I'm good with regular tires they work just fine.
Hidden Clone b-b-but you won't be able to um... to turn sideways without turning... so pay over that 200k per tire come on you don't have a choice now.
Vestbi again have you heard of up scale, I'm not defending this type of tire but I feel this must be addressed. All things are expensive at first but then something called upscale takes place in which companies find the most effective way of mass producing said product while offering a decent performance(relative) for the customer. This upscale does not happen over night either it takes years to to work down into a plan but once it's there you would be paying for these new tires just like the current tires we have today of course there is always inflation or deflation of currency ( I can't remember the word for the inverse of inflation) which would change prices in the future but alas every thing comes down to relative cheapness once supply and demand re establish.
Im good with communicating with telegraph lines, they work just as well as text messages
Hidden Clone
You're the nut that is against technological advances
Alan Anzo not really I'd rather I nice looking car than a retarded car that looks like a delorian and a Volvo had sex but the child dressed like the 80's at the same time as dressing futuristic
This is a great idea as far as utilizing maglev tech without having to provide a special rail or surface on which to drive, but I am concerned about how road feedback will be affected. Part of the reason that I prefer unassisted steering and manual shift is that the alternatives place a barrier between the driver and the road.
Also, the theoretical squeezing of parking lots will only be possible when vehicles that use this kind of revolutionary tire design, or something equally freeing as far as directional manoeuvering, becomes the overwhelming majority.
Remember, electromagnetic suspension has been tried before (by Lexus, I believe) and it failed to make inroads into the market.
Yeah because when a car equipped with these gets into an accident, I want a 300LB magnetic-rubber sphere of momentum uncontrollably flying into something
This kind of smooth brain ideology would’ve prevented cars from ever being made in the first place. I’m surprised you’re not griping about how we should all be riding horses.
@@FirstFamilyCharger we should be.
@@fsherman898 fair enough lad
@@FirstFamilyCharger However, I don’t agree with your statement. When automobiles were first pondered upon, there was no alternative for comparison. While this idea, is to replace a wheel and tire assembly which on average weighs about 60 pounds.
to be fair these have tonnes extra grip and would be equipped in a car with supremem abs and road sensing, so it'd brake to a stop a mile away. though I agree; this is a stupid idea.

Reinventing the wheel
Funny! But - how is this even possible??? Blows my mind...
Underrated comment.
Lol... literally!!
This could dramatically reduce cars from tipping over because current tire and rims are taller that they are wide and they are rectangle shaped so in an incident where the car has sideways movement instead of being likely to topple over it will just roll to a stop

You wouldn't get stopped by the police. The car will automatically drive you to your location. The wheels will follow the speed limit and everything.
really hope this never comes to fruition then
Ha Hi Yeah, but then you tell your bud that you've got information that could put Hillary in prison, and suddenly, your automatic car mysteriously 'reroutes' off a cliff... Harambe will have died for nothing.
2019: Change my tires.
Future: Change my balls.
These tires are just like in the movie
I Robot 👍👍.
Goodyear
Keep up the good work.
*checks date to see if it was released on April 1st*
Micah Beard SAMMMEEE
Micah Beard I wasn't the only one?!?! LMFAO
Micah Beard Same
Micah Beard Wouldn't it be a little expensive for an april fool?
haha yup
How much magnetic crap is going the get stuck under the fender ??
Probably none, while magnetism attracts, it also repels. In this case, everything magnetic is being repelled from the wheel well.
Don't know about that. Try repelling a nail. Iron doesn't repel.
What do you mean Iron doesn't repel?
not true
If you have a magnet in the car making it positive. Then the outside of the ball also being positive, it'll repel. That's nothing new and shouldn't surprise anyone.
What I'm most interested in is how braking is going to work with these. How strong does the magnet have to be to stop the vehicle and how much can it be before it lifts the car too high. Don't even worry about these.
They're just an idea, nothing like this is actually functional.
The sphere will have less contact area for the same radii and pressures.
Seems like more
You may wanna ponder on that a little more. Imagine if you took a normal tire and just made it wider. Would you have more or less points of contact? If it's inflated like a basketball then if course it would have less points of contact, but it won't be completely full it'll lack a bit so it doesn't have to be restricted to having less traction
It seems like it would have less contact area to me. Besides aren’t the side walls giving part of steering control. And the fun. What? No more drifting. This is taking the fun out of driving for safety’s sake. If they can’t drive give them the bumper clown car 🤪
@@ChodyRay yeah, I've pondered it. Ignore deformation, for a moment, and imagine the contact area of a normal tire against a road (cylinder against a plane); the contact area is a line as long as the width of the tire (length of a cylinder). Now imagine the contact areaof a SPHERE on a plane: IT'S A SINGLE POINT, which is much less than a line. Now factor in the deformation of an elastic material. Let the traditional tire, say 10 inches wide, deform under a given force, such that the line of contact thickens from a 10 inch line with zero thickness to a 10 inch rectangle with 3 inches of width. 30 sq inches of contact under deformation. To get 30 inches of deformation on an elastic sphere, would take a sphere of much larger radius than the regular tire, or a much lower psi (would have to deform much more under the same given force), which would also introduce a lot more rolling resistance and drag. To summarize, to get the same contact area on a deformed elastic sphere as on a deformed elastic cylinder, the sphere would have to much more easily deform (with less force) or have to be much bigger. Neither are desirable. The tire is better.
@@Gruuvin1 yeah but you're thinking of a solid metal sphere that is filled with air and has no room for movement for the sphere to compress and decompress with the road if it's deflated a bit, then that much more rubber is touching. Not to mention the tires are going to be a bit bigger to compensate as well. I agree that in this point in time tires are better but once we're able to actually perfect it I could see it being alot better
Michelin posted a video of their collapsible tires.. and here comes goodyear with some weird shit.
It's spherical. SPHERICAL!!
Brian Flaherty good one
Brian Flaherty I liked and unliked your comment 20 times due to the awesomeness of the use of that quote lol
Brian Flaherty hahahaha those were the good Ole days
so Goodyear plans to manufacture the required cars?
if so? how much will it cost?
something like 5m maybe... completely affordable!
oooooooh better get my down payment ready
StorminNorth keep your current car and maintain it
daniel godin rly? you guys believe that this thing will be on the market in 20 years?
Same idea I was thinking about
SPHERICAL!!
No explanation on how power is transferred to the wheels or how they are mounted in a rose/ball joint like that whilst accommodating the vehicle weight. they designed a wheel that no car can or will be able to use. This is nonsense.
Morlanius As for the power, I can only assume that they are implementing a superior form of wireless power exchange between the car and tire. About accommodating the weight of the vehicle while in its "joint" or whatever you'd call it, it uses magnetic forces that would push equally with the cars weight.
Morlanius You mean power will be transmitted to the weels through waves such as how phones could be able to transmit to others without cables. C'mon man this is 6th grade science stuff, I should know Im in 6th grade!!
Morlanius Im sure they are working with other companies or working on building their own new advanced cars that will hold such thing as the new wheel
Mike Awesomeness talking about transferring movement though....much different than transmitting signal.
That would be one hell of an EMF required to rapidly throw the direction of these tires with that much weight on them.
Its spherical... SPHERICAL!!
Potatowalnut I know where this is from hilarious XD
LOL! Gaming Sphere from Drake and Josh.
CaptainSoviet1 I'm so glad people actually get the reference 😄
LOL!
Triggered
Okay, now give this to us now! I want this future now!!!
Mitchilin have been struggling for a while, but this year it was a good year.
@John yes I am well aware its a single word, but it is a double entendra also.
They just made a rubber ball. What would be a real innovation is if they designed that car.
Elon Musk is probably already on it.
@Brian Grimes a rubber laminated giant metal ballbearing.
Didn't the cars in the movie "iRobot" have these tires?
Indeed they had. The audi RSQ has them.
yeahaa loolll
Yes
something very close if not yea the same ;p
fuck
These guys are literally reinventing the wheel
Seems like a load of balls ! 😊
Dont reinvent the wheel
josh hall they didnt. they evolved it from pokewheel to pokeball
shane koszczewski you should try catching Pokémon with it
Ayyyyyyyy. Good one
josh hall - Perfect comment.
It's called progress.
Oh, I get it now. Each wheelwell is going to be a hemispherical brushless electric motor.
The tire itself is the central portion of the brushless motor, meaning, no energy wasted on axles, planetary gears, etc.
I like the concept.
Those tires will weigh quite a lot with those magnets in it. I think that'll be the primary engineering challenge.
Braking seems to be dangerous relying only on battery power and magnetic force.
well magnetism is one of natures own powers, and relying on that is gonna be just as dangerous as relying on a piece of metal.
Currently you can apply manual break force even with the engine off and no battery. How do you stop these magnetic wheels if your battery dies?
Милен Маринов but its the magnet that keeps them running, so probably if the magnet dies the tires will lock themselves, im sure the people who are designing tires for cars have thought about braking with the tires.
Sure, but there are better and worse solutions. Also, it's still just a concept. So I would like to know what they've come up with so far.
Other country’s VEE HAVE BEELT A NEW VEEL
“Gets to america” : now its famous
😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣vee !
IT'S SPHERICAL!!
I guess GoodYear engineers were watching the movie "I, Robot"
Johnny Martinez ye finally someone noticed xD
Johnny Martinez yep hahahaha
and spectral to I guess lol 2:48
I guess Apple engineers were watching "Star Trek"
The audi concept was before "I robot"
better not let the flat earthers see this,they will say its not real....
Ah, a globe tard...
fishy fingers earth is flat
WYATT_SCHMALZ 78 Nah, Earth is obviously in the shape of a velociraptor, look at the facts dumbass
Elierbster you've all got it wrong earth is a fart
Serg.i0 _ damn.
THEY MUST MAKE THIS! THIS IS AWESOME!
looks really good can't see a happening in my lifetime
can it still do a burnout?
most important question
+wipout1 They havent invented a way to transfer power magnetically from the engine to the tire, and how will they lock the tires for parking?
Burnouts and drifting ?...forget about it.
+Hazehellivo basically it's good for people who would rather let the seat back and get an extra 45 minite nap while the car drives itself to your workplace.
+andrewsheldonreeves And why? Will employers expect more with no more pay? Why can't people work from home? Why are cars still single occupant vehicles? What about the skills you lose by not driving? Sorry this future of self driving cars makes no sense and has NOTHING to do with making our lives better.
+wipout1 This is not about recreating the feel of a 1970 race car, This is about making the roads safer for those of us that can still drive by taking the controls from morons that should not operate more than a push mower.
I like the guy who said cubes were better than this
Clorox Bleach why do I see you in the comments on like every video I see 😐
It's spherical
*SPHERICAL*
It's spherical .... SPHERICAL!!
I smell a little bullshit
probably like bullshit. . . duh ._.
Probably smells like burnt rubber
A-Wings Gaming lol
Z-Army so pretty much just a copy of I - Robot cars
Z-Army also seems like a boring way to drive
Does anyone 'memba I, Robot starring Will Smith from 2004? Yeah... They did this already.
That car was hovering. But I get what you're saying. That could be what inspired this concept.
Or a maglev.
LeoDavid Fernandez yea but they didn't actually do it did they dumb fuck? its a movie jesus
It takes a special kind of person to become upset over a comment on a video, stoop to name calling over the internet, behind the safe confines of their keyboard... Congrats, you get a gold star special person!
yeah i memba
Mechanic: sorry, can’t fix the flat cuz its on the side wall
Goodyear: *laughs in sphere*
SPHERICAL!
who else thought the timer on the red lights was actually the best idea in the video?
That's a thing, but just not in the US.
Don't know about where you live but here in New Jersey, there's a timer on the green light for pedestrians. Once the countdown reaches zero, the don't walk sign shows up and the light turns green for the other road a couple seconds later. Not exactly a red light timer, but close enough.
Tevatron044 Where I live all traffic lights have countdowns
Marc D yeah but not like this. I have them too here in Florida on the walkways, but i like the way they had it here
Here in DC we have timers
that is a pretty "ballsy" move from goodyear
JOHN DOE ayyyyy lmao
JOHN DOE budum cchhh
I'm TIRED of these puns.
Karl Inglott , not me! Keep them ROLLING in!
I'm done
Its spherical! *SPHERICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
It would be interesting to see cars that use it and see how they use it. I think it is cool.
