AIS is the first and only active system that changes road conditions and makes it instantly safer. Through small injectors hidden inside the bumper, AIS sprays a controlled jet of water in front of the front wheels to eliminate excess water on the road, thus re-establishing contact between the ground and the tyre. In this way, in addition to restoring grip to the car, AIS allows the anti-lock braking systems and electronic stability control to operate where they would not have.
AIS is therefore a fundamental system for all cars, both traditional and self-driving ones, which will make it possible to save lives and drastically reduce accidents in the most dangerous driving situations, such as highly wet asphalt, aquaplaning and not only that: Easyrain has begun studying an evolution of the AIS system capable of restoring grip not only in the event of loss of control on wet surfaces, but also in the event of loss of control in snow and ice conditions, improving further driving safety in other critical situations for the driver and autonomous driving systems. This project sees the collaboration of the Polytechnic of Turin.
