Bridgestone and Michelin plan to introduce a puncture proof tyre particularly aimed at the autonomous vehicle market.


The main problem is designing a tyre that can take the weight of a vehicle at speed. Thus one can get punctureless tyres for scooters but not for b doubles. They will have flexible ribs and a light rubber compound to promote speed and rebound over minor bumps.


Autonomous shares with moi the inability to take any joy out of changing a tyre so this should accelerate the wakeup of such EVs.
