The Thunderboard React kit is a conceptual car design by Silicon Lab that relies on wireless sensors to keep track of the vehicle's overall performance. This is thanks to integrated Bluetooth features that allow consumers to track how fast the car is going, the acceleration, positioning and more to ensure that the design is running properly and smoothly.
The vehicles are paired with an app designed specifically to monitor the interior mechanisms so consumers can track how the car is functioning without having to open the roof or perform any maintenance. The vehicles are designed specifically for derby use and track racing, which allows the multiple sensors and wireless tracking to be an asset when it comes to improving the vehicle's performance as well as the overall design and aesthetic.
