Air-free non-pneumatic tires are coming to a bicycle near you

Props for the Snow Crash reference; though your proposal raises the question of how long it will be(if it hasn’t already been) before a wheel design that depends on sensors and active tuning of wheel structure in real time becomes a thing.

There are some limited, manual, implementations that are surprisingly old(apparently the WWII DUKW had a TARDEC developed central tire inflation system); but that just extended to making it easy to quickly adjust pressure without getting out and futzing with pumps and pressure gauges; or to compensate for modest leaks; it wasn’t automated and was otherwise a fairly conventional pneumatic tire); but even the ‘coming sometime soon’/‘tech demo’ options don’t seem to include terrain mapping radar or the like.
