Michelin Active Wheel

[DonkeyApple]

Couldn't find a thread on this.

Seems quite an interesting concept and would certainly change the generic look of the car which is historically a shape defined by the parts underneath.

Was expecting a new version of their Tweel for a second there.

Anyone else seeing even more wheels being stolen than before

I think the jokes gone flat.

We've taken a turn for the worse...

I guess huge unsprung weight isn't a problem if you've got active suspension.

I suspect car manufacturers already have systems like this in the pipeline. I wonder why Michelin bothers with concepts like this. For publicity?

Sorry, no pun here!

Looks like an active suspension system combined with a hub motor with all of the associated problems of both and the added bonus of rubbish kinematics to me
