We developed a miniature wireless tyre pressure gauge in 1963 at Cambridge Consultants Ltd., Cambridge, England. It screwed into the standard inner tube valve (as it was then). At the time the auto industry showed zero interest.

My current BMW has a tyre pressure monitor as standard. (looks at wheel balance parameters).

Forget measuring pressure, what I want is a CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System), just like those big U.S. Army trucks have. The system automatically reinflates the tires if they get low.
