Michelin and Brembo are reducing braking distances with AI [Video]

Michelin and Brembo have pooled their talents in the area of artificial intelligence and other smart technologies to help make vehicles safer, especially when it comes to reducing braking distances.

Announced on Dec. 12, the partnership is focused on the exchange of real-time data between Michelin’s tire monitoring software and Brembo’s Sensify brake system, which independently controls braking at each wheel.

Michelin’s tire monitoring software includes Michelin SmartWear, Michelin SmartLoad, and Michelin SmartGrip, which respectively measure a tire’s wear, load, and grip levels using existing sensors found on modern vehicles. According to Michelin, the software can work with all tire brands.

Brembo’s Sensify uses AI, algorithms, and sensors to optimize braking in various driving situations at an individual wheel level.

According to the companies, the sharing of data helps engineers fine-tune chassis systems to deliver new levels of precision when it comes to braking. Testing has already been conducted, and the results have been promising.

According to the companies, up to …
