At this year’s Geneva International Motor Show, Goodyear unveiled its restored Golden Sahara II concept vehicle, complete with its glowing tires.
Made in the 1950s, the vehicle was the tire and rubber company’s first autonomous concept vehicle with an interior that featured a television, telephone and button-less dash and instrument panel.
Its tires were also illuminated for safety reasons, with today’s AV also experimenting with lighting on other parts of self-driving vehicles to communicate with other road users and pedestrians.
