Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. has developed a proprietary system that utilizes artificial intelligence "to predict the values of key tire characteristics," according to company officials.
Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd. will be one of the first corporations to tap into the power of the Fugaku Supercomputer, which the company says "is capable of performing approximately 442 quadrillion calculations per second."
MTD recently asked tire manufacturers, “What do tire dealers need to know about the performance demands that electric cars place on tires?” Here’s what they had to say.
While still making up a relatively small percentage of all personal vehicles sold in the U.S., the number of EVs on American roads is expected to multiply over the next several years as governments and vehicle manufacturers pursue electrification. MTD recently spoke with tire manufacturers who have an original equipment presence in the U.S. to learn how EVs are impacting tire design and construction.
Hankook & Co., parent company of Hankook Tire America Corp., is investing heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) as a future driver of tire design, testing and performance monitoring.
