Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system to allow the wheels of a car to think and act for themselves.

The “smart” wheel allows the wheels on a car to communicate with one another while performing thousands of calculations per second. As a result, the wheels think and learn as the car is being driven, making calculations and adjustments according to travelling speed and road conditions.

The AI will control the suspension, steering and breaking systems of the car and will teach itself to adapt to bends in the road, potholes and other potential hazards, and compensating by adjusting the car’s reactions.
