Nexteer Automotive expands its growing software capabilities with an investment in Tactile Mobility, the leading tactile virtual sensing and data company based in Israel. "Nexteer's collaboration with Tactile Mobility is a perfect complement to existing global software business model and focus on motion control software. Tactile Mobility's software collects data using vehicles' built in, non-visual sensors including wheel speed, wheel angle, RPM, paddles position, gear position and then analyzes it to yield actionable insights in real-time. These insights provide a clear-cut, highly accurate description and analysis of the continually evolving state of vehicles, roads and vehicle-road dynamics. Steering plays a unique role in giving the driver a "feel of the road." Beyond the performance aspect of a driver's road connection, this road feedback also plays an important safety-critical element in giving the driver a sense of hazardous road conditions (e.g., icy, gravely, potholes etc.). Already a leader in software-tuning for steering feel, Nexteer expects to elevate its expertise via Tactile Mobility's real-time data feeds on vehicle environments. Nexteer joins other global automotive companies collaborating with Tactile Mobility.
