Pirelli has announced the "cyber tires". Should just call them what they are snitch tires.

When all the big brands start bugging your tires to spy on you you'll be crawling to the lanvigator road Bangers

Integrated with the cars electrical system...if the tire thinks it is worn out will you car start?
Safety at all cost.
Just when you think you've seen everything this comes along.

That's a lot of marketing speak with very little technical information. Looks like some basic temperature, time and revolution data being extrapolated into tire feedback on high end PZero tires. That's easy to piggyback onto active TPMS sensors already incorporated into most wheels at this point. Some race rubber actually cracks below -7C. This would warn you if you tried to move your car at low temperatures, etc.

Ya this is a nothing burger. I doubt it will filter down to a Honda Civic. The general consumer doesn't know or care about their tire pressure as is let alone temp and revs per mile.

Strikes me as going down the road of printer ink cartridges.

Aftermarket tires?

Nope, car won't run.
