Just went through that crap this week with the stupid new wheels and air pressure sensor nonsense. It took me 2 days to find someone who could fix a slow leak in one of my tires, without destroying the sensor.
Grafting computers to cars is not about reliability. It is about making money via dealer repairs and parts costs.
The GPS navigation system on GM cars is pure crap. Phone apps beat it hands down. It is about selling tracking info and advertising of a few vendors in auto related retail outlets. (gas stations, restaurants, and convenience stores)
If you purchase tires from America's Tire company they install upgraded sensors when new tires are installed or after a (free) repair.
If you also purchase the tire insurance ($20 or so) you get a free new tire if they can't fix the leak (usually a sidewall damage or a split in the tread).
I have 2 new free tires in the last 2 months
First was a sidewall damage
Second was a tread split...was causing a rumbling sound...I originally thought a bearing had gone.
Also the free tire rotation and wheel balance.
The other day an auto glass guy was complaining to me about how new windshields increasingly have embedded electronics that require firmware updates before installation.
