Does anyone see a profit motive in hacking the tire pressure monitoring system? Maybe this is a concern. I’ll wait for other comments but my gut reaction is that this is a fun story but not something that is a real concern.

Ok, correct me if I need correcting.

It would be the environmental police like in the Super Bowl ad for Audi. Didn’t the guy who sometimes plays president tell us to keep plenty of air in our tires? Looks like the ATF will have to hire a bunch of new agents.
Agency of tire flation.

Sorry guys, it’s been a frikkin long week.

Barley pops ahoy.

The Rutgers researchers have shown that these wireless signals can be intercepted 120 feet away from the car using a simple receiver despite the shielding provided by the metal car body.

You mean that someone 120 feet away can tell how much air I have in my tire? The horror!!

Maybe. But more immediately this is a pain in the ass if you have to have a wheel or tire worked on.

I'd just as soon check my own, thank you automobile industry.

Pose Security Threat

This is true. I just read on the internet that my wife's former college professor's dentist's cousin has only 24 psi in his left rear tire!

At the same time virtually everyone in the cars have wireless phones with unique IDs. DOH!

I'm I the only sane person on this thread?

Don't you all see what's happening here?

Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPM) became a forced requirement during the BUSH administration.

You see it's BUSHES fault.

You can't make this stuff up!

Our driving is now less safe because of Bush.

Now, back to my beer.

I wish you all a great weekend!
