Nanny State

Insists your car tell you when you have a flat.

I think it's more about this:

Tire monitoring systems are already installed on between 2 million and 4 million vehicles, mainly luxury vehicles.

Just one more added benefit that if we want, we can buy on our own.

(By the way, my POS company car, a Pontiac, has this feature. My Jaguar and Mercedes? Nope.)
