Flat Tire
#4
Just wait until we all have federally-mandated TPS (tire pressure sensors) because of those individuals unable to check their tire pressure. Somehow, I think there's a simple gauge, analog or digital (take your pick) to perform this task. Then again, some might choose the eyeball and thumb pressure method if the gauge method is too troublesome.
The original idea was probably good for "run flat" tires. But, of course, now they'll become some added mandatory electronic geegaws which will wear out and need to be replaced after giving misleading readings to a driver with a lighted alert on the dash. Remember, the sensor is inside the tire, subject to huge temp variations, and of course, many millions of revolutions over its lifetime at different speeds and centrifugal forces.
