According to @ai_darpa, Hankook Tire has unveiled the WheelBot, a revolutionary spherical tire concept that enables full 360-degree rotation and omnidirectional movement. This technology allows vehicles to park sideways, spin on the spot, and navigate complex environments with unprecedented agility. The WheelBot's design is particularly promising for autonomous electric vehicles (EVs), as it can enhance maneuverability in urban settings and optimize parking efficiency. The integration of AI-powered control systems with spherical tire technology could create significant business opportunities in next-generation mobility solutions, smart city infrastructure, and autonomous vehicle fleets (Source: @ai_darpa, Dec 31, 2025).
