... this sort of system has been available for several years now ... and I
think it has been standard equipment on the Corvette for a couple years (and
probably others too).
I heard of a new product that is currently being used for "big rig" trucks.
It is a pump that is powered by the rotation of the tire that ensures that
the tire remains properly inflated. Apparently they will be developing the
product for passenger cars and motorcycles soon ...
