Car tires send alert to driver by bluetooth "Going flat!" (?)
Mobile|blog.it, which by the way is my latest favorite blog to find great cell phone news (and I don't speak Italian- you don't need to speak Italian to find great links here), reports on a new product manufactured by Pirelli, to launch on the market next October, which is a tire cap which could send alert messages to the driver's cell phone via Bluetooth.
But according to Marco Magnocavallo, over at Mobile|blog.it, the strange thing it's that on the Pirelli Xpressure site there's nothing about Cellphones, Bluetooth, etc. They only speak about an "Electronical device"...
And two Italian newspapers picked up on the bluetooth side of the story, Repubblica yesterday and the Corriere della Sera wrote about it today.
So Marco wonders who's right? Pirelli Xpressure website or the newspapers?"
I remember reading about a feature that was supposed to be implemented in all cars by mid 2005, where in case of a car crash, vehicules were to automatically send a text message to an emergency number (but not by bluetooth). cf Car sends SMS message at accident.
