Continental has rolled out an original equipment (OE) tire line for autonomous vehicles. The aContact tire family combines specially developed tire technologies that meet the varying requirements and areas of application of autonomous vehicle fleets, and are well-suited to robotaxis, shuttle vehicles, autonomous delivery services and, in the future, self-driving private cars, the tire maker says. Continental’s aContact tires are due to be released across US cities such as Las Vegas and San Francisco.
“Self-driving robotaxis will soon be part of our everyday mobility – alongside traditional cars, cargo bikes and e-scooters,” said Meletis Xigakis, head of research and development for the original equipment business at Continental Tires.
