Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are trying to fine tune their ADAS offerings considering the tread wear, which refers to a specificity of tires that changes with use. Some innovative ADAS manufacturers have programmed a specific wear rate based on the miles a tire travels. They have calibrated their ADAS responses based on this factor. This has led to the development of intelligent tires, wherein an assortment of embedded sensors in the tire feeds data to the ECU regarding the wear rate, tire pressure, specific road conditions, suspension feedback, and other related information. This information is used to fine-tune the responses of the vehicle ECU, seating and suspension, ADAS, safety features, and others, thus continuously providing an enhanced ride experience.
