Insights
PlusAI's partnership with Goodyear integrates tire intelligence into autonomous trucking, strengthening its technology ecosystem ahead of 2027 commercial launch.
This strategic collaboration between PlusAI and Goodyear represents a significant enhancement to PlusAI's autonomous trucking technology stack. By incorporating Goodyear's SightLine technology, which provides real-time data on tire health, road conditions, and friction levels, PlusAI gains valuable inputs that can substantively improve the decision-making capabilities of their SuperDrive™ autonomous system.
The partnership addresses a critical but often overlooked aspect of autonomous vehicle operation: the tire-road interface. This data integration creates a more comprehensive sensing infrastructure that goes beyond traditional camera and lidar systems. For autonomous trucks operating at highway speeds with heavy loads, understanding tire conditions and road friction becomes crucial for safety margins and operational efficiency.
PlusAI's approach of building an ecosystem of strategic partners (now including Goodyear alongside TRATON, Hyundai, and IVECO) demonstrates a sophisticated go-to-market strategy. Rather than attempting to build every component in-house, they're leveraging specialized expertise while focusing on their core autonomous driving software. This OEM-led model, with factory-built integration, offers a more scalable deployment path than retrofit solutions.
The 2027 target for commercial launch suggests PlusAI is taking a measured approach to ensure safety and reliability. With five million miles of autonomous driving experience across multiple continents, they appear to be methodically building both the technological capabilities and industry partnerships needed for commercial-scale deployment of autonomous trucking.
Goodyear's SightLine technology delivers real-time, sensor-driven insights into tire health, road surface conditions, and friction levels by continuously monitoring the tire-road interface. This advanced tire intelligence technology can further strengthen SuperDrive, supporting enhanced data capture that aims to optimize vehicle performance, reduce operating costs for fleet owners, and improve reliability across a wide range of driving environments.
"PlusAI's leadership in autonomous trucking is built on innovative technology, deep collaborations, and rigorous validation," said Shawn Kerrigan, COO and Co-founder at PlusAI. "Our collaboration with Goodyear and their SightLine technology will give us additional vehicle data to further enhance the performance of our SuperDrive system under real-world conditions as we gear up for the commercial launch of factory-built autonomous trucks."
Over the last nine years, PlusAI has scaled into an industry leading virtual driver software player and has deployed autonomous driving technology across the
"Our collaboration with PlusAI marks a significant step forward in integrating tire intelligence into autonomous trucking," said Chris Helsel, Senior Vice President & Chief Technical Officer at Goodyear. "By embedding our cutting-edge SightLine technology into factory-built autonomous trucks outfitted with SuperDrive, we're helping to elevate vehicle performance, safety, and operational efficiency from the ground up."
PlusAI is the autonomy partner to leading global commercial vehicle makers—TRATON GROUP, Hyundai, and IVECO—who will factory-build, validate, deliver, and support autonomous trucks powered by SuperDrive. This OEM-led model enables scalable deployment through trusted manufacturing and service channels, providing fleet operators with a seamless path to autonomy. PlusAI and its partners are targeting the commercial launch of SuperDrive-enabled, factory-built autonomous trucks in 2027, beginning in
