Industry experts predict that tire sensors will become smarter and offer more vital data for drivers as electric vehicles (EVs) continue to gain popularity. Since EVs are generally heavier than gasoline-powered cars and possess greater torque, the need for safe tire wear rates is higher.
Major tire manufacturers are developing advanced sensors and experimenting with products to help tires last longer, provide drivers with advance warning about when they need servicing or replacement, and ultimately reduce the risk of tire blowouts and increased braking distances. Continental, for example, has developed intelligent sensors that go beyond merely monitoring tire pressure by also gauging temperature and detecting punctures.
