>I hate that cars are bloated with superfluous components

Low tire pressure sensors are required in all new cars after 2011 for safety as driving on under inflated tires is very dangerous. It's a much needed safety feature. Your car is going to get more "bloated" every year as new safety features are required each year because they work at reducing crashes.

I am not sure who just blindly fills up their tires without checking the psi as they go.




Sure blame the victim. But the point of these sensors is to make it foolproof. Then they fool you. That's the issue - its not safer to have faulty sensors that we come to depend upon.
