Aquaplaning, also known as hydroplaning, occurs when a layer of water builds up between the tyres of a vehicle and the surface of the road, resulting in the loss of traction and control. The AIS system tackles this by spraying water in front of the vehicle&#8217;s front tyres, effectively removing excess water from the road and restoring vital contact between the tyres and the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This system, which has already been integrated into the electric vehicles of a major automotive group, is gaining traction in the industry.&nbsp;Moreover, other car manufacturers are showing interest in the AIS system, which is expected to reach the production-ready stage by&nbsp;the&nbsp;autumn&nbsp;of&nbsp;2024.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link advgb-dyn-232769bb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/bringing-autonomous-driving-forward-politecnico-di-milanos-self-driving-maserati-chinas-driverless-cityscape\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Bringing Autonomous Driving Forward: Politecnico di Milano&#039;s Self-driving Maserati &amp; China&#039;s Driverless Cityscape\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">Bringing Autonomous Driving Forward: Politecnico di Milano&#8217;s Self-driving Maserati &amp; China&#8217;s Driverless Cityscape<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Politecnico di Milano pioneers autonomous driving with the 1000 MAD project, testing self-driving Maserati MC20 Cielo in the 1000 Miglia race. <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unlocking autonomous driving safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;new&nbsp;DAI&nbsp;software solution designed by&nbsp;the company&nbsp;is scheduled for production in late 2025. The software aims to improve autonomous driving safety by introducing new functionalities that enhance effectiveness in low-grip conditions. This initiative aligns with Easyrain&#8217;s mission to create innovative safety systems that save lives, particularly in challenging driving conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CEO Giovanni Blandina&#8217;s vision for the company is clear. &#8220;There is still a long way to go, but the increasing activities with different carmakers indicate that we are on the right track.&nbsp;We are now poised to achieve our ambitious goals, including expanding our team and making our technologies available in the market,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Future prospects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the additional funding,&nbsp;the company&nbsp;is perfectly positioned to continue creating and refining technologies that can save lives.
