Pirelli and Aston Martin have agreed to collaborate on the integration of Pirelli’s exclusive Cyber Tyre technology into the British performance brand’s future vehicles.
Cyber Tyre is the first system in the world that’s able to collect data and information from sensors located directly in the tires themselves, process that data with Pirelli’s proprietary software and algorithms, and, in real time, communicate with the vehicle’s electronics to create new functionalities integrated within the driving and control systems, company officials stated in a press release. Cyber Tyre, with the cooperation of Bosch Engineering, will be fully integrated within the electronic architecture that governs the vehicle’s dynamics in future Aston Martin models.
Pirelli Cyber Tyre 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 algorithms, is transmitted to an electronic control unit that optimizes the vehicle’s dynamics. 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, noted the release.
Both Aston Martin and Pirelli say they are dedicated to creating incredible ultra-luxury performance sports cars, and the addition of Pirelli’s Cyber Tyre system is a further technological step, enabling Aston Martin’s class-leading performance.
