TheFilledk still dont like it, what about the drift D:

the car well be able to drive sideways

Unnown user, if the rear tyres are configured to behave like ordinary rear wheels, then this car can drift just as well as any other car :) Just because the tires are round doesn't mean they have infinite grip, or necessarily have to roll sideways if you don't want them to

less surface area of the tire would be touching the ground for a round tide then regular, so there would be far less traction for sure.

I mean, even the crappiest of phones nowadays is more powerful than the rocket that sent the first humans to the moon was so it’s not impossible.

@@rickard1200 I'm sure it's possible. They already have Trains that run on a magnetic system. It just isn't practical or affordable, not to mention it probably wouldn't do well in snowy conditions because of snow and ice clogging up the wheel wells.

We are long way off, but this is definitely the future for Cars. Parking would take seconds!

we have flying cars now.

Flying cars were invented in 1934. Planes just make more sense. You don't want to look up and see a bunch of flying objects in the air as opposed to one big object carrying all those people to where they need to be.

What do you mean by ”technology we don’t have”?

magnetic levitation is not that hard. usually you'd take an arangement of coils, apply a special pattern of AC to each coil. when you bring copper (or any non-magnetic+conductive material) close to it, the coils will induce a current in the copper. the copper turns the enduced current into a magnetic field wich opposes the ones of the coils. not sure if i really need to clarify that, but its not verry efficient

Haven’t you ever heard of a magnet train?

@@tobbleboii5988 now what technology would allow people to attach these tired to a car via magnetic levitation and control the direction they spin?

More alien tech obtained by negotiating with gray aliens.

6. Probes are landed on Mars and survive the impact. 7. The car sits on the tyres. 9. Different companies can make compatible products for mutual profit. 10. I don't know that the tyres _do_ talk to each other. 11. You get in and out _before_ completing the parking procedure. 12. How can we fly in planes? 13. There's such a thing as a computer. Expensive cars already have four-wheel steering, dependent on the speed, that is completely transparent to the driver.

Great questions. I personally know I wouldn't depend on something 100% automated that I have no control over. The one you asked about loss of power is something that already crossed my mind. Since it works on energy, what happens to the car when the tyres drain of energy.

Pilots are still required to fly manually when they can to keep trained for an eventuality such as this which actually happened: a plane crashed into the water at 150mph instantaneously killing all occupants after a sensor froze and since the pilot had mostly flown under auto pilot he made much more mistakes than he would have done if he was flying manually the whole time. No safety critical system should rely on automation for it to be functional thats just dangerous. Automation should only be applied in a way that assists the human in control but keeps the human in control at all times so when something does go wrong they can act accordingly.

megaspeed2v2 "Automation should only be applied in a way that assists the human in control but keeps the human in control at all times so when something does go wrong they can act accordingly." I love that.

That's entirely dependent on how good your automation is. Both humans and electromechanical devices have an error rate. If the error rate of an electromechanical device is significantly lower than the error rate of a human operator, the electromechanical device should take precedent. Activities like piloting vehicles are outside of a humans evolutionary "design parameters" (remember, we evolved to hunt, forage, and survive predators, not pilot tons of metal at hundreds of mph), the fact that we can do it at all is a testament to biological adaptability, but it is still eminently feasible to design a purpose-built system which is superior to a human for that specific task. As a counterpoint to the example you give, it should be noted that the most common cause of aviation disasters by far is human error, and several disasters have been caused by pilots overriding, or air traffic controllers ignoring warnings from, automated systems.

Do you think this is a joke? It's very tiring to wrap my head around all these puns. Freaking circle jerk.

It also avoids wear and has very low maintenance requirements._*_ The application of magnetic levitation is most commonly known for its role in Maglev trains."_ you do realize that active magnetic suspension is for example used in things like magnetic bearings, which not only use very little power but have a variant that is entirely passive and uses permanent magnets? magnetic suspension is actually more energy efficient than anything mechanical by far due to massively decreasing energy loses caused by friction the idea that they need massive power is simply wrong, they would need *less* power than normal wheels

@@nadarith1044 Hm. After a bit of research it turns out rare earth magnets are neither rare, nor terribly expensive. Not even neodymium. I had assumed the maglev portion of the vehicle would be "active," using magnetic coils that require continuous power flow, rather than a passive effect provided by natural magnets. This would probably be a very efficient design after all. I guess the real reason we don't have tires like this is probably related to R&D costs or mass production issues.

@@PaxTorumin A big reason of why technologies like these (that aren't fundamentally orders of magnitude inferior in performance and actually can be a viable alternative if developed enough) aren't widely used or developed can be chalked to the general aversion to radically different technologies in industry in general, not just development and production cost that's unfavorable when compared to more mature technologies with decades of streamlining but also the way people don't like new and different things alongside the dunning-kruger effect one only has to look at ridiculous 'design flaws' people with no knowlegde of engineering or very basic knowlegde of mechanical principles at work invent on videos of various garage prototypes people made of spherical 'wheels' or really any demonstration of unfamiliar technology including even the maglev trains which tend to receive that treatment from many in the west to realize that people have a tendency to overinflate and outright invent flaws and inefficiencies for anything new (at the same time obvious scam stuff like compressed air driven engines somehow receive the 'goverment blocked this technology' and 'it's a miracle tech just needs some more work!' treatment from many so go figure) i can easily imagine a situation where the first person to start working on creating the 'motorized horseless carriage' decided to eschew the wooden wheels of carriages at the time in favor of roller driven roughly patterned balls citing the cramped nature of cities and countryside or something similar, and continued development on that instead in sheer bloody mindedness until it was made to work good enough with solutions like coating contact surfaces and the balls with rubber that deforms to some degree for a greater contact patch or having a basic suspension where free-rolling rollers on springs hold the ball tightly regardless of how uneven the surface of it is, then the resulting prototype automobiles would be used as a starting point for everyone else a century later and any garage prototype that used actual wheels would be ridiculed with having overblown 'flaws' and 'low efficiency' like 'but all the force of the motor would need to go through a single shaft it would break easily!' and 'it needs an entirely different drive train setup just imagine the complexity and cost!' as long as competing technologies aren't massively unequal in efficiency luck and what was developed first are actually greater factors than simple efficiency or cost-benefit analysis, and when one technology is much more mature than another the new one will have incredible difficulty getting to the market, needing decades of development to become on par, this holds true even in cases where said tech would actually be objectively better and more efficient

Parallel parking refers to parking at the side of the road, often with one car in front and one car behind the slot you want to get your car into. Doors are usually pavement-side and road-side, so you wouldn't have difficulty getting out of the car. In the situation you're talking about (which is not parallel parking), presumably you get out and tell the car to park itself. Either way you're not stuck in the car.

Vestbi again have you heard of up scale, I'm not defending this type of tire but I feel this must be addressed. All things are expensive at first but then something called upscale takes place in which companies find the most effective way of mass producing said product while offering a decent performance(relative) for the customer. This upscale does not happen over night either it takes years to to work down into a plan but once it's there you would be paying for these new tires just like the current tires we have today of course there is always inflation or deflation of currency ( I can't remember the word for the inverse of inflation) which would change prices in the future but alas every thing comes down to relative cheapness once supply and demand re establish.

Fewer moving parts can also mean less problems. Maybe it will even out.

Afaik, sensor technology is known to be very sensitive to all sorts of influences and break under those influences. Cars experience a very wide range of influences that can cause sensor malfunctions. I mean anybody with simple fucking parking sensors i know of has relied on it and had a bump-in due to malfunction. We're a long way from being able to make robust sensors. On top of that, the power transfer to the spheres, what will make em rotate? I'd guess that such a system either requires high amounts of current which batteries can't provide for a long enough time or it would be very delicate and not powerfull enough to propell a car. I don't mind the dreaming, i do mind that it's presented as something that is already practical.

AwoudeX This is a concept, and the whole reasons behind concepts is to analyse the flaws and challenges and adapt it to future technologies. Flying cars for example, they don't exist and will probably not get invented, but the whole venture has allowed us to study levitation more in depth...

Matthew Hemmings Well some guy did develop one. But large scale manufacturing got shot down

This car doesn't have axels. Nor would have a need for a petrol based engine. And seeing as it doesn't have axels, would consume less energy from the basic actions that syphon momentum (and therefore energy) from the current output. Well done on picking up a concept wrong.

Morlanius As for the power, I can only assume that they are implementing a superior form of wireless power exchange between the car and tire. About accommodating the weight of the vehicle while in its "joint" or whatever you'd call it, it uses magnetic forces that would push equally with the cars weight.

Morlanius You mean power will be transmitted to the weels through waves such as how phones could be able to transmit to others without cables. C'mon man this is 6th grade science stuff, I should know Im in 6th grade!!

Morlanius Im sure they are working with other companies or working on building their own new advanced cars that will hold such thing as the new wheel

Mike Awesomeness talking about transferring movement though....much different than transmitting signal.

That would be one hell of an EMF required to rapidly throw the direction of these tires with that much weight on them.

Hernan Pastenes with this new tire design. There will be no need to buy tires again. Because vehicles will be held to the road via magnetism.

Saint matthias I don't care about buying tires my comment was to the dude who Is crying about the price of them

Saint, The magnetism holds the wheels to the car. The wheels still touch the road.

Probably none, while magnetism attracts, it also repels. In this case, everything magnetic is being repelled from the wheel well.

Don't know about that. Try repelling a nail. Iron doesn't repel.

What do you mean Iron doesn't repel?

not true

If you have a magnet in the car making it positive. Then the outside of the ball also being positive, it'll repel. That's nothing new and shouldn't surprise anyone. What I'm most interested in is how braking is going to work with these. How strong does the magnet have to be to stop the vehicle and how much can it be before it lifts the car too high. Don't even worry about these. They're just an idea, nothing like this is actually functional.

roy kneepkens nuclear powered batteries

Bikash Gautam and the car crash spill all the nuclear radiation on the road.

Player194 not with Thorium Nuclear Reactor, it would be covered surrounded by liquid salt and if the Thoruim failed for any reason, the salt would solidify and stop any leaks. Basically, it self regulates so there can't be any disaster. Plus unlike Uranium, Thorium doesn't require super high temp for operation, and the the half life of Thoruim is very small compared to Uranium. And 1 ton on Thoruim can make the same amount as 250 tons of Uranium, so there is a small waste.

Ha Hi Yeah, but then you tell your bud that you've got information that could put Hillary in prison, and suddenly, your automatic car mysteriously 'reroutes' off a cliff... Harambe will have died for nothing.

Braking seems to be dangerous relying only on battery power and magnetic force.

well magnetism is one of natures own powers, and relying on that is gonna be just as dangerous as relying on a piece of metal.

Currently you can apply manual break force even with the engine off and no battery. How do you stop these magnetic wheels if your battery dies?

Милен Маринов but its the magnet that keeps them running, so probably if the magnet dies the tires will lock themselves, im sure the people who are designing tires for cars have thought about braking with the tires.

Sure, but there are better and worse solutions. Also, it's still just a concept. So I would like to know what they've come up with so far.

You have to remember that now it would be brand new technology that would be expensive, but by the time it would actually be put in production the prices wouldn't be outrageous. Think of an average tire being able to go 40,000 miles and costs $200, if this tire could go 120,000 miles then it would most likely cost around $600-$800. 3-4 times more expensive.
