Most drivers never think about tire pressure sensors beyond a dashboard warning light.

But new research highlights how these systems may unintentionally expose vehicle tracking data through wireless transmissions!

In this episode of the @sharedsecurity podcast we discuss:

- How your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) works
- The real-world tracking risk
- Broader implications for IoT and automotive security

@agent0x0 @sharedsecurity bruh. If you believe that the wireless transmission is the issue, that's naive. Modern cars track everything, down to small shit like opening the trunk. Whether they directly expose it wirelessly or the company loses it in an unfortunate incident after years of exfiltrating data during "routine checkups" does not matter at all (that shit happens, VW was caught exposing 10 GB of driving data including names of drivers to the web just 2 years ago).

Cars are privacy nightmares. Modern ones because of tracking, old ones because they're so rare they become visual beacons once owners are known.

Strengthening public transport is actually a privacy preserving move (caveats, yes, but in the grand scheme of things I do believe this holds true).
