  • Goodyear presented a vision of a future tire that looks radically different from tires today - it’s spherical
    Goodyear unveiled its latest concept tire, Eagle-360, at the Geneva International Motor Show. The spherical, 3-D printed tire highlights Goodyear’s vision for the future and presents an inspiring solution for the long-term future when autonomous driving is expected to be more mainstream.
    According to a recent study from Navigant Research, 85 million autonomous-capable vehicles are expected to be sold annually around the world by 2035, for example. According to the J.D. Power 2015 U.S. Tech Choice Study, consumers are most concerned with ensuring safety through technology in autonomous cars.

      It's a Star Wars reference. The thing looks like a Death Star. The first Death Star had a single vulnerable spot two meters wide. It was a thermal exhaust port. Luke Skywalker said something like, "I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters." That's where I got the womp rat reference from.

    Just a few things I've noticed:
    1. Say you're at 100km/h and you want an emergency brake, how will a magnetic system fare against actual metal pistons?
    2. If the magnet is that strong how much power would it consume?
    3. Wouldn't such a strong magnet attract magnetic debris such as iron nails?
    4. Suppose someone forgot to turn off the system power and is somehow doing a tyre change, would he/she be electrocuted by a strong current for touching the wrong places? Or maybe his/her metallic watch will get stuck to the magnetic device and crush his/her wrist?
    5. Just how expensive is this tyre compared to the already expensive normal tyres?
    6. Are the magnetic/electrical components within the tyre delicate and prone to damage due to strong impact like obstacles on the road?
    7. What happens if your car runs out of power, will the wheels roll off?
    8. Ferromagnets lose functionality when temperature is high, would the wheel malfunction on hot tar roads on a sunny day?
    9. Is Goodyear going to manufacture a brand new type of car just to use these tyres? How heavenly would it cost?
    10. The tyres auto-communicating with other tyres doesn't sound safe at all.
    11. If you park so close to each other laterally how do you plan to get out/in of your car? And how do you plan to move out of the car park if the cars are parked head-to-tail of each other?
    12. How much can we trust a system so dependent on automation?
    13. How complicated/counter-intuitive would steering become?
    14. The wheels travel independent of the direction the car is facing, would that result in more accidents?
    15. All it takes is to spray some ferromagnetic material to whatever surface your wheels are attracted to, and your vehicle is completely wasted.
    There are more but these problems are already bad enough.

      6. Probes are landed on Mars and survive the impact.
      7. The car sits on the tyres.
      9. Different companies can make compatible products for mutual profit.
      10. I don't know that the tyres _do_ talk to each other.
      11. You get in and out _before_ completing the parking procedure.
      12. How can we fly in planes?
      13. There's such a thing as a computer. Expensive cars already have four-wheel steering, dependent on the speed, that is completely transparent to the driver.

      Great questions. I personally know I wouldn't depend on something 100% automated that I have no control over.
      The one you asked about loss of power is something that already crossed my mind.
      Since it works on energy, what happens to the car when the tyres drain of energy.

    • @RWoody1995
      @RWoody1995 7 років тому +19

      Pilots are still required to fly manually when they can to keep trained for an eventuality such as this which actually happened: a plane crashed into the water at 150mph instantaneously killing all occupants after a sensor froze and since the pilot had mostly flown under auto pilot he made much more mistakes than he would have done if he was flying manually the whole time. No safety critical system should rely on automation for it to be functional thats just dangerous. Automation should only be applied in a way that assists the human in control but keeps the human in control at all times so when something does go wrong they can act accordingly.

    • @jgt2598
      @jgt2598 7 років тому +7

      That's entirely dependent on how good your automation is. Both humans and electromechanical devices have an error rate. If the error rate of an electromechanical device is significantly lower than the error rate of a human operator, the electromechanical device should take precedent. Activities like piloting vehicles are outside of a humans evolutionary "design parameters" (remember, we evolved to hunt, forage, and survive predators, not pilot tons of metal at hundreds of mph), the fact that we can do it at all is a testament to biological adaptability, but it is still eminently feasible to design a purpose-built system which is superior to a human for that specific task. As a counterpoint to the example you give, it should be noted that the most common cause of aviation disasters by far is human error, and several disasters have been caused by pilots overriding, or air traffic controllers ignoring warnings from, automated systems.

      magnetic levitation is not that hard.
      usually you'd take an arangement of coils, apply a special pattern of AC to each coil.
      when you bring copper (or any non-magnetic+conductive material) close to it, the coils will induce a current in the copper. the copper turns the enduced current into a magnetic field wich opposes the ones of the coils.
      not sure if i really need to clarify that, but its not verry efficient

I had assumed the maglev portion of the vehicle would be "active," using magnetic coils that require continuous power flow, rather than a passive effect provided by natural magnets. This would probably be a very efficient design after all.

      @@PaxTorumin A big reason of why technologies like these (that aren't fundamentally orders of magnitude inferior in performance and actually can be a viable alternative if developed enough) aren't widely used or developed can be chalked to the general aversion to radically different technologies in industry in general, not just development and production cost that's unfavorable when compared to more mature technologies with decades of streamlining but also the way people don't like new and different things alongside the dunning-kruger effect
      one only has to look at ridiculous 'design flaws' people with no knowlegde of engineering or very basic knowlegde of mechanical principles at work invent on videos of various garage prototypes people made of spherical 'wheels' or really any demonstration of unfamiliar technology including even the maglev trains which tend to receive that treatment from many in the west to realize that people have a tendency to overinflate and outright invent flaws and inefficiencies for anything new (at the same time obvious scam stuff like compressed air driven engines somehow receive the 'goverment blocked this technology' and 'it's a miracle tech just needs some more work!' treatment from many so go figure)
      i can easily imagine a situation where the first person to start working on creating the 'motorized horseless carriage' decided to eschew the wooden wheels of carriages at the time in favor of roller driven roughly patterned balls citing the cramped nature of cities and countryside or something similar, and continued development on that instead in sheer bloody mindedness until it was made to work good enough with solutions like coating contact surfaces and the balls with rubber that deforms to some degree for a greater contact patch or having a basic suspension where free-rolling rollers on springs hold the ball tightly regardless of how uneven the surface of it is, then the resulting prototype automobiles would be used as a starting point for everyone else
      a century later and any garage prototype that used actual wheels would be ridiculed with having overblown 'flaws' and 'low efficiency' like 'but all the force of the motor would need to go through a single shaft it would break easily!' and 'it needs an entirely different drive train setup just imagine the complexity and cost!'
      as long as competing technologies aren't massively unequal in efficiency luck and what was developed first are actually greater factors than simple efficiency or cost-benefit analysis, and when one technology is much more mature than another the new one will have incredible difficulty getting to the market, needing decades of development to become on par, this holds true even in cases where said tech would actually be objectively better and more efficient

      Parallel parking refers to parking at the side of the road, often with one car in front and one car behind the slot you want to get your car into. Doors are usually pavement-side and road-side, so you wouldn't have difficulty getting out of the car.
      In the situation you're talking about (which is not parallel parking), presumably you get out and tell the car to park itself. Either way you're not stuck in the car.

      A modification is re-inventing. Inventions are not necessarily a completely original idea. Most inventions are just modified versions of something that already exists. That's why products are an evolution. A wheel is simply a round object designed to rotate around a central axis. There are millions of objects that fit a wheel description.

    I imagined something like this recently, I guess it wasn't as crazy as I thought since major companies are working on it. In my mind I pictured one large spherical tire in the center of the vehicle. The car body would be more like a square or torus shaped passenger hub where everyone sits around the wheel.
    The thing that has always annoyed me about the current design of cars and traffic is that it works best while moving forwards, but as soon as someone miscalculates a turn, tries to merge too early, or gets in some kind of jam, traffic needs to move backwards an everything comes to a halt, all because cars don't have lateral movement.
    It will take a lot of time to implement these technologies no matter what the design is, because the roads, homes and parking bays that exist now are all designed around the current car technology. One cityscape that always inspired me was in the movie Minority Report, where cars could move vertically along wall-roads, and also rotate on the spot to fit onto roads of different width.

      If you have a magnet in the car making it positive. Then the outside of the ball also being positive, it'll repel. That's nothing new and shouldn't surprise anyone.
      What I'm most interested in is how braking is going to work with these. How strong does the magnet have to be to stop the vehicle and how much can it be before it lifts the car too high. Don't even worry about these.

    • @Gruuvin1
      @Gruuvin1 5 років тому +6

      @@ChodyRay yeah, I've pondered it. Ignore deformation, for a moment, and imagine the contact area of a normal tire against a road (cylinder against a plane); the contact area is a line as long as the width of the tire (length of a cylinder). Now imagine the contact areaof a SPHERE on a plane: IT'S A SINGLE POINT, which is much less than a line. Now factor in the deformation of an elastic material. Let the traditional tire, say 10 inches wide, deform under a given force, such that the line of contact thickens from a 10 inch line with zero thickness to a 10 inch rectangle with 3 inches of width. 30 sq inches of contact under deformation. To get 30 inches of deformation on an elastic sphere, would take a sphere of much larger radius than the regular tire, or a much lower psi (would have to deform much more under the same given force), which would also introduce a lot more rolling resistance and drag. To summarize, to get the same contact area on a deformed elastic sphere as on a deformed elastic cylinder, the sphere would have to much more easily deform (with less force) or have to be much bigger. Neither are desirable. The tire is better.

All things are expensive at first but then something called upscale takes place in which companies find the most effective way of mass producing said product while offering a decent performance(relative) for the customer. This upscale does not happen over night either it takes years to to work down into a plan but once it's there you would be paying for these new tires just like the current tires we have today of course there is always inflation or deflation of currency ( I can't remember the word for the inverse of inflation) which would change prices in the future but alas every thing comes down to relative cheapness once supply and demand re establish.

      Afaik, sensor technology is known to be very sensitive to all sorts of influences and break under those influences. Cars experience a very wide range of influences that can cause sensor malfunctions. I mean anybody with simple fucking parking sensors i know of has relied on it and had a bump-in due to malfunction. We're a long way from being able to make robust sensors.
      On top of that, the power transfer to the spheres, what will make em rotate? I'd guess that such a system either requires high amounts of current which batteries can't provide for a long enough time or it would be very delicate and not powerfull enough to propell a car.

Not to mention without the option for user controlled actions, you would save a shit ton of space saved in the car already
      We get it, You understand how an axel based car works. This car doesn't have axels. Nor would have a need for a petrol based engine. And seeing as it doesn't have axels, would consume less energy from the basic actions that syphon momentum (and therefore energy) from the current output.

    "There is no mechanical contact with the car". I'm thinking to myslef, What would happen when it hits a bump and the car gets airborne a foot or two? Will the wheels get ejected from under the car because of the magnets pushing on it? Also, How is it going to brake? And what about its acceleration? If you know anything about MagLev trains, it takes a significant distance to get it up to speed and for it to stop! Also, what would happen if you are trying to park on a hill or at a slight angle. There would need to be some incredibly powerful processor to compensate for every little thing it touches.

      it would require a flat surface for parking, or a locking mechanism grappling the wheels when the multiple electromagnets suspending the car over the wheels isn't active.
      but a flat surface for parking would be ideal..
      theoretically getting the technology to work would be easier than making it work effieciently for the use of moving vehicles forward.. nevermind the safety issues it poses on a road.
      4 wheel turning is a more intresting idea, easier to design, the concept of turning 360 degrees on the spot and being able to slide sideways would look rather amusing..
      would introduce a new more fluid movement during car chases in action movies, at the very least.

      You don't need an engineering degree to come up with legitimate criticisms of something, it helps, but it isn't necessary. Sometimes people use their degrees or credentials to dupe others.

      +bob sagot having a degree doesn't mean shit. a stupid idea is still a stupid idea, and if your average person can look at it and go 'this seems really fucking stupid', then it's probably a stupid idea.

    This is a great idea as far as utilizing maglev tech without having to provide a special rail or surface on which to drive, but I am concerned about how road feedback will be affected. Part of the reason that I prefer unassisted steering and manual shift is that the alternatives place a barrier between the driver and the road.
    Also, the theoretical squeezing of parking lots will only be possible when vehicles that use this kind of revolutionary tire design, or something equally freeing as far as directional manoeuvering, becomes the overwhelming majority.
    Remember, electromagnetic suspension has been tried before (by Lexus, I believe) and it failed to make inroads into the market.
