| ZF Reveals What the Future Sounds like in Software-Defined Vehicles |
In-vehicle tire noise is an unwelcome intrusion that can travel through chassis components, such as control arms and dampers. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), ZF is presenting its new "Active Noise Reduction" software function, which reduces this type of noise at the source without additional noise dampening hardware in the vehicle. The purely software-based function for the chassis significantly minimizes annoying tire noise in the interior. In the future, the technology group will expand the use of the function to other ZF chassis actuators.
