Ohio - The research field of automotive technology are always looking for ways to make cars more effective , environmentally friendly , and better . Not only in terms of energy consumption , spare parts , wheels , up to collaboration with other gadgets .
Junmin Wang , assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Vehicle Systems and Control Laboratory at Ohio State , integrate other areas of automotive technology . He managed to find the car of the future : no engine and no transmission gear . Each rim has a battery as the motor itself , eliminating the need for the machine . There are only three components of the steering wheel , steering wheel , gas pedal and brake .
This car also has a computer chip that regulates complex algorithms to synchronize the working wheel and make sure the car runs smoothly . This chip receives a signal from the driver , via the steering wheel and pedals . Then calculate the desired speed , or move the vehicle , based on mathematical models .
These chips are also in charge of analyzing the data the car up to 100 times per second . These chips can tell each wheel as needed to exert power . " Cip can set , where the wheel to be braked , which should be encouraged , " said Wang , Monday, November 18, 2013 . " The car that runs on mathematical calculation , so it is better than a conventional car . " With the absence of the engine , the car 's weight could be lighter . Half of the weight of the car is generally around 800 pounds .
This is not the first car that uses independent motors in each wheel . Five years ago , tire manufacturers Michelin developed a system called active wheel , which successfully removes the engine and exhaust . Wang system promises a more efficient vehicle .
