"Modern cars, including EVs, have tons of safety features baked in, but sometimes the driver still has to take over when the going gets tough. That's why most new cars out there still have a button somewhere that disengages the traction control system, which can come in handy when tackling slippery roads or deep snow because it allows the wheels to spin without the electronics cutting power."
"That stands for artificial intelligence, and it's what ZF believes will make driving safer and more stress-free in the near future. The company, which has become a global powerhouse, claims its new AI Road Sense system can change the way a car behaves on the road in real time by analyzing the road surface and automatically changing the steering feel, throttle response, braking force and other parameters on the fly."
AI Road Sense analyzes sensor inputs and adapts vehicle dynamics in real time, adjusting steering feel, throttle response, braking force and other parameters. The system is offered in three tiers: Standard uses CAN bus signals and wheel-speed sensors to detect road conditions; Advanced adds camera-based predictive surface detection; Premium integrates lidar that scans the road profile up to 82 feet (25 meters) ahead with 0.7-inch (2-centimeter) accuracy. The technology aims to improve traction and prevent vehicles from getting stuck in deep snow by changing control behavior automatically. Manufacturers can choose configurations based on budget and packaging constraints. The solution debuted at CES 2026.
