The Redmond-based software-makers, Microsoft teamed up with one of the biggest tyre manufacturers of the world, Bridgestone to develop the world’s first tyre damage monitoring system (TDMS). The technology aims to increase road safety by leaps and bounds as most of the car accidents happen because of bad roads or damaged tyres.
The tyre damage monitoring system (TDMS) by Microsoft and Bridgestone will connect to Microsoft’s Connected Vehicle Platform (MCVP). It will use the MCVP’s cloud framework to take and analyze sensor data from the existing hardware in the car. As a result, the system will work with any modern car without any additional fittings.
According to the findings of Bridgestone, 30% of all car accidents happened because of technical failure related to tyres. So, the inception of this system in future cars will hugely increase road safety and reduce accidents due to bad tyres.
