This new feature will send a signal via Bluetooth to your cellphone, informing you of any tire related problems. <br /><br />On the surface, this sounds like a good idea. However, the more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that this is crazy. Do you really want someone to take their hands off the steering wheel to grab their cellphone and read an alert stating that your tire is flat. In a flat tire situation, I would like the driver to have both hands on the wheel, please and thank you. Especially if we're motoring along the highway! :?
