AutoExec Summary
Goodyear has unveiled a futuristic concept tire, the Aero, which can function as both a regular road tire and a propeller for flying cars. The airless tire is designed to absorb bumps on the road while being strong enough to rotate at high speeds for vertical lift. The company also envisions a concept vehicle that could use magnetic propulsion to spin the wheels for takeoff and potentially become a part of driverless car technology. Goodyear’s chief technology officer, Chris Helsel, believes that the company needs to think ahead to provide the hardware for future mobility. This concept gives insight into the potential of future transportation.
