Modular Tire Design Cuts Waste and Adds Built-In Road Sensors
Key Takeaways
- UC3M researchers have designed and tested a modular tire with a removable silicone tread.
- The design includes built-in sensors intended to monitor road conditions.
- Modularity aims to cut waste by allowing tread replacement instead of full-tire disposal.
- Testing is a milestone, but safety, durability, and regulatory questions remain.
