Goodyear Showcase Tire Technology That Can Produce Oxygen

The shape of the tire that we know now from the first form has not changed. It is circular, rolling, and serves as a support and becomes a component that is directly tangent to the road surface.
Some tire manufacturers are competing to produce good quality tires capable of providing optimal grip as well as maximum durability. But what happens when one of the tire manufacturers actually offer different features without sacrificing grip and durability?
He is Goodyear, who recently unveiled the concept of an environmentally friendly tire future, such as quoting motorauthority,

Simply put, Goodyear wants to help improve the air quality in the urban metropolitan area by adding oxygen content through the concept of a tire named Oxygene.
Just like a photosynthesis system in plants that produce oxygen, the concept of Oxygene tires also apply the same thing. How to plant living organisms in the form of moss on the side wall, structure and design of tires with open tread, allowing live moss and absorb moisture as well as carbon dioxide, so the process of photosynthesis occurs.

The tire company estimates that in a city the size of Paris with a vehicle of about 2.5 million vehicles, Oxygene tires will generate about 3,300 tons of oxygen and absorb about 4,400 tons of CO2 each year.
Goodyear also cut production processes more efficiently. Oxygene tires will be printed in three dimensions using rubber powder from recycled tires, further reducing the exploitation of natural resources (rubber sap).
Not enough there, the future tires will be pinned sensors, artificial intelligence units or artificial intelligence systems that exist in autonomous vehicles, as well as LED line lights on the tire wall that can all be actively working due to electricity supply from the process of photosynthesis.
Interesting when it is quickly produced, let alone used by car owners, agree?
