“SMART TIRE” DEVELOPED BY OMNI

But the Omni Rubber Company has developed what it calls a “smart tire”, that will ultimately be able to monitor its own wear and give a much more detailed account of performance. Omni’s new technology uses a computer chip implanted within th tire. A handled antenna picks up radio waves transmitted from the computer chip and can display the information on a digital reader. This information is then examined by the operator of the truck, who can determine how well the tire has been functioning. Omni executives suggest that the technology could extend the life of a tire by so much as ten percent, thereby saving trucking companies millions of dollars.
