In order to detect tyre problems or predict when one needs replacing, 843 Goodyear is to equip Tesloop, the city-to-city service based on 8534 Tesla semi-autonomous vehicles, with wireless sensors to improve tyre management and boost uptime.


The wireless sensors continuously measure and record tyre temperature and pressure, which is then paired with other vehicle data connected to Goodyear’s cloud-based algorithms to enhance overall fleet operations and predict issues before they happen.

    Making a city smarter not only relies on understand technological opportunities but also human decision-making, as Miller Crockart explains. Cities are about people – a fact that can easily be forgotten when experts talk about roads, healthcare and education as though they are abstract and unconnected monoliths rather than things people use. Understanding how and why people use services is vital for making decisions on how they can be optimised for maximum efficiency across inter-connected networks that for
