Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you - IMDEA Networks
networks.imdea.orgResearchers at IMDEA Networks Institute, together with European partners, have found that tire pressure sensors in modern cars can unintentionally expose drivers to tracking. Over a ten-week study, they collected signals from more than 20,000 vehicles, revealing a hidden privacy risk and highlighting the need for stronger security measures in future vehicle sensor systems.

Cool. Did you come here just to tell us that you’re proud to drive unsafely or what?
If only there was some kind of way to periodically check tire pressures.
No one does that. Nor is it possible to do while the vehicle is rolling down the road.
Do you drive without a LIDAR? Why, do you like to live dangerously?
If my car had LIDAR I would certainly take reasonable measures to ensure it continued working, yes.
