The #aero concept includes a number of innovative features:
While the #aero is a purely conceptual design, some of its featured technologies, such as a non-pneumatic structure and intelligent tire capabilities, are being developed by #Goodyear today, while others might become the basis for new ideas and potentially new products in the future.
Goodyear’s concepts are meant to trigger a debate on the tires and transport technologies for a new mobility ecosystem.
#sahara II on translucent #Goodyear tires at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show ">Goodyear and Klairmont Kollections unveil restored Golden #sahara II on translucent #Goodyear tires at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show
In collaboration with Klairmont Kollections, #Goodyear unveiled the restored Golden #sahara II at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show. An iconic custom car of the 1950s and 60s, the Golden #sahara II was one of the first concepts of autonomous vehicles and was fitted with glowing, see-through tires that were custom developed by #Goodyear.
Developed by Jim Street and legendary custom car designer George Barris, the Golden #sahara II was a platform for testing new electronics systems. It featured a control system with an aircraft-inspired control lever for acceleration, braking and steering and an automatic braking system that used sensors to detect potential objects in the car’s path.
The car’s tires were developed by #Goodyear using Neothane,
a translucent form of synthetic rubber, and contained internal lighting, which allowed them to glow.
This was part of broader research by #Goodyear into the feasibility of tires that could help improve visibility in bad weather conditions or be wired to light up when a driver hit the brakes.
The Golden #sahara II is a unique vehicle and a part of American motoring history. My team and I are proud to have partnered with #Goodyear in bringing this iconic vehicle back to life at the 2019 Geneva International Motor ShowLarry Klairmont, founder and owner of Klairmont Kollections„ In its heyday, the Golden #sahara II toured the United States, featuring on television and in films. It then sat in a garage for the best part of 50 years until Klairmont Kollections purchased the vehicle from Mecum Auctions in May 2018. The Golden #sahara II was restored with the help of Speakeasy Customs and Classics in Chicago and was presented at Geneva on four, newly-built #Goodyear translucent tires.“We are truly honored to have once again been a partner in the Golden #sahara II project. Discovery and innovation continue to be the core of what #Goodyear does. Working on projects like the Golden #sahara II and the concept tires that we present at Geneva is an opportunity to stretch our imagination and envision the possible products and services of the future.Henry Dumortier, Vice President Consumer for #Goodyear Europe
