Who would've thought that the humble and not-very-high-tech tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) would be identified as vulnerability gateway?

Tire pressure sensors can unintentionally expose drivers to tracking, according to research from the IMDEA Networks Institute, located in Spain.  A 10-week study collected signals from more than ...

Modern cars rely on TPMS for safety, but researchers warn the same system can enable discreet vehicle tracking ...

The device in many automobiles that warns drivers when their tire pressure is low transmits the data in unencrypted cleartext and carries a unique identifier for ...

Researchers 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, ...

Federal regulations have required some sort of computerized tire-pressure monitoring system in new cars since the 2007 model year. Most of these are active types that employ a sensor mounted to each ...

A TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor is a device that is installed in a vehicle's tires to monitor the air pressure and temperature of the tires. The primary function of the TPMS sensor is ...

A friend of mine recently replaced an older vehicle with a new one of the same make and model. Among the many changes he saw was that the single mandated icon indicating low pressure in one ...

A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an auto component that helps keep you informed when tire pressure drops or rises to unsafe levels. The system works by comparing each tire to a programmed ...
