Sooner or later, even our tires on our cars had to get smart. Goodyear is announcing that it has built tire intelligence into its tires with the help of tech-focused partners.
This is about getting real world information about the state of your tires and using that information for everything from scheduling replacement, getting maintenance or avoiding crashes. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is talking about this at its first appearance at CES 2024, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas this week. And it’s why Goodyear is bringing its world famous Goodyear Blimp to the show.
Goodyear did an event at a CES in the past where it announced a $100 million corporate venture fund. But it hasn’t been on the show floor before, even though Goodyear has been around for 126 years.
I spoke about these developments with Chris Helsel, senior vice president of global operations and CTO at Goodyear, in an interview. Tire intelligence means getting data on the actual state of wear of a tire and making predictions about how long that tire will last or how it will perform in emergency conditions.

“When you think about the evolution of the software defined vehicle, with functions being delivered via software instead of hardware, you could say our journey is to do the same thing with the tire, and that’s how we think of tire intelligence,” Helsel said. “Our announcements are about our roadmap and our accomplishments that we’re pursuing, not only on our own but with our partners.”
Today, Goodyear SightLine, the tire company’s suite of tire intelligence technologies, offers comprehensive insights into tire, vehicle, and road conditions through advanced algorithms and real-time monitoring. These advancements signify a transformative leap in transportation, ushering in an era of intelligent and sustainable mobility. Goodyear is working on getting these advances into the market.
“Tires are the sole vehicle component in contact with the road,” Helsel said. “By digitalizing this connection and equipping vehicle control actuators with critical insights, we can optimize vehicle performance and safety. This collaboration with ZF showcases the transformative potential of tire intelligence and elite software applications in advancing mobility.”
The company started talking about Goodyear Sightline and tire intelligence back in 2020. Now the company has integrated it with the ZF technology to detect hydroplaning and do something about it.
“What that basically comes down to is knowing tire condition in real time,” Helsel

Embark Studios’ latest update for free-to-play competitive shooter THE FINALS is now live. It introduces Solo Bank It, the first limited-time mode which sees 12 players in a free-for-all fight to earn 40,000 cash and deposit it before the others.

Official Xbox news website Xbox Wire has deleted a post that claimed the open beta for Final Fantasy 14 had gone live on Xbox.
Just as we expected, AI was the running theme throughout CES 2024. In this episode, Devindra and Producer Ben Ellman chat with co-host Cherlynn Low, who’s on the ground in Las Vegas with the Engadget team. We dive into AI coming to almost every product category, new standalone AI hardware, and a surprising amount of “shush” tech. In geekier news, we dive into Micron’s new RAM format for laptops, which has the potential to reshape the notebook industry, and discuss why we all may want a rolling house robot like Samsung’s Ballie. And on a sad note, we chat about the wave of tech layoffs from Google, Amazon and others.
Hello and happy new year! Once again, team Engadget has set up shop in Las Vegas for CES, living out of suitcases so that we can scour the massive show floor and occasionally injure ourselves in the process. For CES 2024, we expected to see AI everywhere, and we were not disappointed.

Tech aimed at battling climate change and even pumping fresh water out of thin air attracted crowds as the annual CES gadget extravaganza showed its green side. With calls to fight climate change escalating, technology firms are finding ways to help, according to organizers of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2024), which wrapped up in Las Vegas on Friday.
PC and microchip companies struggling to get consumers to replace pandemic-era laptops offered a new feature to crowds this week at CES 2024: artificial intelligence (AI). PC and chipmakers including Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel are betting that the so-called "neural processing units" (NPUs) now found in the latest chip designs will encourage consumers to once again pay for higher-end laptops. Adding additional AI capabilities could help take market share from Apple.
The 27th D.I.C.E. Awards return next month to Las Vegas, where the industry-only event celebrates the best games and achievements in games of 2023. Unlike The Game Awards, which are hosted and produced by Geoff Keighley, with votes from media outlets and the public in some instances, the D.I.C.E Awards are voted on exclusively by game developers.
Sony is finally giving us a look at some of the console covers that will be available for the more compact version of the PlayStation 5 later this year.
