丰年's new Eagle 360 tire concept envisions a future that moves away from round, donut-shaped tires, 和 into materials 和 designs that could allow the car of tomorrow to levitate 和 easily move in tight spaces.
像《星球大战》那样的Eagle 360不是好莱坞最好的动画师的心血结晶。取而代之的是，这个想法可以使轮胎沿任何方向移动。固特异说，未来轮胎的最大优点之一是，它将消除实际将车辆的动力传动系统与车轮连接的需求。轮胎通过磁悬浮而不是通过物理轴“连接”到车辆。
至少从概念上讲，使Eagle 360发挥作用的原因是，它由超吸收性橡胶制成，可在干燥条件下变硬或在湿滑的路面上变软以帮助牵引。嵌入在轮胎橡胶中的传感器监控道路状况，以适应轮胎的状况。
Of course, the tires are a mere idea backed up by some degree of science at this point, so there's no real indication from 丰年 that they're forthcoming. Given their spherical design, they would require a complete rethink of the way cars are designed, so don't look to add them to your daily driver any time soon.
