Goodyear is making the leap into the software-defined vehicle (SDV) space with its SightLine tire intelligence software. The tire company revealed its partnership with SDVerse™, a leading business-to-business marketplace for vehicle software solutions, where it will promote its suite of intelligence offerings.
This collaboration positions Goodyear’s state-of-the-art technology at the forefront of automotive innovation, underscoring the evolving role of software in redefining vehicle efficiency, safety, and connectivity.
Pioneering Tire Intelligence
Goodyear’s SightLine technology introduces a groundbreaking approach to mobility by embedding smart software capabilities into one of the most critical vehicle components: the tires. The tire intelligence offerings provide precise, real-time diagnostics on tire health, enhances road surface sensing, and delivers predictive maintenance insights.
By integrating the data directly into a vehicle’s control systems, SightLine aims to improve safety, optimize performance, and reduce inefficiencies. From informing drivers of worn tires to helping manufacturers design better control responses, the technology transforms tires into proactive assets in vehicle operation.
“Our tire intelligence technologies are at the core of our commitment to innovation” said Werner Happenhofer, Vice President of Global Tire Intelligence & Solutions at Goodyear. “Partnering with SDVerse gives us the opportunity to collaborate with other members and OEMs as we meet the evolving demands of the industry.”
The Role of SDVerse
Goodyear’s collaboration with SDVerse is key to extending the reach of its digitally driven solutions. SDVerse serves as a marketplace where manufacturers, software providers, and mobility innovators come together to advance the software-defined vehicle concept. By showcasing SightLine on this platform, Goodyear can connect with original equipment manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers to scale its technology across a global network.
Goodyear’s entry into this space reflects the shift towards connected, data-driven systems where traditional components evolve to provide advanced functionality. The SightLine suite demonstrates what’s possible when vehicle intelligence is enhanced by software innovation.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Goodyear to SDVerse,” said Prashant Gulati, CEO of SDVerse. “Goodyear’s move into software is not only bold but incredibly timely. Their presence on our platform underscores the breadth of what software-defined vehicles can become — where even tires evolve into intelligent systems contributing real-time data and decision-making capabilities across the vehicle ecosystem.”
