In an industry first, Autogem has “announced” a new AI-powered TPMS sensor designed to change how drivers interact with their vehicles.

Instead of a standard dashboard warning, the system sends WhatsApp messages when tyre pressure drops:

“Hey… I’m feeling a bit low 😔 Can we grab some air soon?”

The sensor is also said to learn driver behaviour, adapt its tone, and even predict punctures before they happen.

Andy Ingram, Autogem’s Chief Technology Officer, commented:
“After years of experiencing boring interactions from the vehicle, it was time for a change of mindset.”

Drivers can even choose different personalities, ranging from polite reminders to more direct warnings:

“You’ve ignored me twice. This is now a problem.”

Angela Irving, Head of Sensor Personality Coding, added:
“It’s important that we balanced the key safety-critical elements of TPMS, whilst adding features that truly engage today’s drivers.”

There are also rumours of voice alerts through the car, garage recommendations, and an “Emergency Mode” that escalates warnings if ignored.

Of course, none of this is real.

Happy April Fool’s Day 😉
