The technology of Hyundai and Kia tires with integrated snow chains.

Model: Kia KIA Various
Part: Snow chains

In this video, we see a revolutionary technology being developed by Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation, which involves snow chains integrated into the tire to make driving in winter conditions easier. This technology uses shape-memory alloy modules hidden inside the tire wheel: These modules protrude to act as "snow chains" when an electrical signal is received. Unlike traditional snow chains that are complicated to install and remove, this technology automatically installs and removes the snow chains with the simple press of a button, helping drivers to safely navigate snowy roads.
