> [...] My car informing me that one of the tyres is low on pressure [...]

Thank you for putting this in a larger philosophical prospective. For I have something on the next level, a car that tells me "a tire has low pressure", but does NOT tell me which tire it is. I did the best I could to understand why my beloved car would do this, but gave up and had to interpret it as a deliberately malicious act.

My suspicions were confirmed when 1 of 4 sensors (inside the tires) had failed, and the technician read the diagnostic and proceeded directly to the tire in question. I had been desperately holding on to the remote possibility that the car really didn't know which tire has low pressure or which sensor failed, but it told the technician but not me.

I am wondering if it would be best to give the car to the technician to ensure my personal safety. How would the next aspect of this dislike manifest? Most scenarios I can think of result in the car's own suicide, but perhaps it will run me over? Please help.

Signed, LOW TIRE PRESSURE

Weird that tires have pressure sensors. I really thought that the control unit's logic simply averages rpm values to identify low pressure tires. I'm glad my car informs me which tire it is convinced of to suffer from 'depression'. I already checked that it identified the correct one.

Two different design philosophies: indirect (not all wheels rotating at a expected speed for current steering), or direct (wireless sensor in the tire).
