While autonomous cars and semi-trucks are preparing to go mainstream, Italian tire manufacturer Pirelli is not holding itself back from advancing in this tech era, as it plans to pair the sensors in its tires with a system that would help improve road safety. Pirelli has acquired a 30% stake in Swedish tech firm Univrses and signed a new agreement with the same company to develop an enhanced road monitoring system. Univrses’ 3DAI technologies will be integrated into Pirelli’s Cyber Tyre system solutions to develop a system that could aid ADAS and autonomous driving technologies by delivering timely and accurate data. Through the integration of technologies, a car will learn more about its environment and map the region it operates in, which will help report potential motoring hazards to concerned authorities. Pirelli to Pair Its Tire Sensors With 3DAI Software to Offer Perception Capabilities Pirelli's Cyber Tyre technology boasts several features that are a first in the world. Describing the capabilities, a press release stated: "In particular, Pirelli Cyber Tyre, which is the world’s first integrated hardware and software system capable of collecting data from sensors inside the tyres, process the information collected using Pirelli’s proprietary software and algorithms, and communicate in real time with the vehicle’s electronics and with the cloud, enhancing cars’ safety systems and permitting to monitor road infrastructures’ status." Now, the scope of Cyber Tyre has been widened through an integration with Univrses’ 3DAI software, which involves the use of cameras. The system is designed to provide autonomous vehicles with perception capabilities, including Spatial Deep Learning, 3D Positioning, and 3D Mapping. It is as if the car has received a new pair of eyes, as it gets a feel of the road through the sensors in the tires. Pirelli confirmed that the technology is already in
