Data Collection Using Sensing Core Demonstrated at CES 2026
Dunlop, a brand under the umbrella of Japan’s Sumitomo Rubber Industries (Sumitomo Rubber), is showcasing its proprietary Sensing Core technology at CES 2026 this week, as the tyre maker seeks a larger role in the development of autonomous and connected mobility systems.
The company said it is exhibiting a dedicated booth at the technology trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada, which runs from January 6 to January 9, 2026, highlighting Sensing Core‘s potential applications in future mobility and autonomous driving.
CES, organised by the Consumer Technology Association, is one of the world’s largest technology exhibitions and has increasingly become a platform for automotive and mobility-related technologies alongside consumer electronics.
At its booth, Sumitomo Rubber is presenting Sensing Core as a foundational technology for mobility safety, demonstrating how data collected from tyres and road surfaces can be used not only for vehicle control but also integrated with wider cloud-based systems.
The company said its exhibits illustrate six future mobility scenarios, including logistics, public transportation, automobile manufacturing, mobility services, driving performance, and infrastructure.
Sumitomo Rubber also positions Sensing Core as a broader technology platform. Central displays at the booth show fleet services that combine tyre sensing data with artificial intelligence developed by Viaduct, a U.S.-based firm acquired by Sumitomo Rubber last August. The booth also features demonstrations from joint technical verification work with T2, which is developing hub-to-hub autonomous truck transport services.
From 2026, Sumitomo Rubber said it plans to leverage Viaduct’s AI capabilities to accelerate the rollout of predictive maintenance services for fleet vehicles and expand these services globally, including in Japan and Europe.
“We believe that Sensing Core is a technology capable of making a substantial contribution to enhanced safety in a society where autonomous driving is becoming increasingly widespread, and to the evolution and progress of mobility. We will continue our technological development efforts to help realise a safer and more comfortable mobility experience,” the company said.
