NASA releases video of testing of new tire design for Mars rovers.

The springy metal is composed of nickel-titanium, a material that can withstand intense stresses.

The tires are capable of incurring significant deformation on rugged terrain, before springing back to its original shape.

Future extraterrestrial vehicles could benefit from self-repairing tires.
