L4sBotHyundai unveils car tires with built-in, push-button snow chains
GhostalmediaAnyone want to bet on this ever shipping?
This smells like something that will only ever exist as a patent for a concept.
Jiggle_Physicstoo many delicate, moving, parts at the point, where a several thousand pound object connects to the ground, while creating great force on the tires.
PxtlRight?
“Hey, I got an idea, let’s add some moving parts to the most disposable part of the car.”
I mean, it’s a cool concept, and I could see it working as something you could turn on to get moving after losing traction in the snow, then turn off. As a replacement for continuous use snow chains though… well you would make the tired several times more expensive, and tires aren’t cheap to being with, and they will likely fail before the winter is done with.
