ACM TechNews; Friday, February 27, 2026 Car's Tire Pressure System Poses Hacking Threat CNET (02/25/26) Aaron Pruner Cars made after 2008, which under the U.S. TREAD Act of 2000 must be equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) for road safety, may expose drivers to covert tracking, warn researchers from Spain's IMDEA Networks Institute.
