Long called the car the type of public transport that pollutes the atmosphere of our planet. Therefore, the transition to electroauto justified not only from economic but also from an environmental point of view. However, Goodyear has gone further and wants to make the car good for the environment. This was developed for tyres, are able to produce oxygen.
The new bus is called Oxygene, and, as the newspaper writes New Atlas, a conceptual product has a special structure due to their tires managed to put a live moss. As representatives Googyear, these tires can absorb carbon dioxide and moisture from the air to power the moss inside of the tire. Instead, moss will produce pure oxygen. Googyear assumes that the vehicle fleet of 2.5 million car tyre and Oxygene for the year will produce about 3,000 tons of oxygen and absorb about 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
But that’s not all! New tires used to obtain the energy to partially power car electronics. Namely, a number of sensors like Parking sensors and a data processing unit. Projector tires will be manufactured using the 3D printing of rubber powder derived from recycled tires, and the tires Oxygene will use the technology Li-Fi (Light Fidelity — bidirectional, high-speed wireless technology) to communicate with other cars and “smart” devices of road infrastructure.
