Continental introduces tires with built-in sensors to track tread wear

Once the 2017 cars come rolling in, you wouldn’t have to worry about checking your tires tread wear. Continental is developing its Tire Pressure Monitoring System to keep track of tread depth as well. The system will monitor how your tires interact and roll against the road surface and compare these with model-specific data. If you’ve hit a pre-determined threshold, the car will inform you to change tires.
