? Michelin already embeds RFID into tires, according to an article in Jalopnik, which poked fun at people who are skeptical of the surveillance grid and perhaps Alex Jones himself with a quip about "black helicopters."

On Tuesday lawyer Steve Lehto uploaded a video where he warned of the privacy implications posed by a new technology – cyber tires.

"I often talk about the dystopian future we're all going to live in where everything is reporting on us at all times, we're being tracked everywhere we go," Lehto said, going on to mention that modern cars are already spy devices. "And so your car is reporting information about you, I find that disturbing also."

Lehto then covered an article that appeared on Autoweek Friday about the new "cyber tires" from Pirelli.

"Cyber tire, gathers data and sends it to your car, and the cloud," the lawyer said, chuckling. "I don't want my tires sending information about my car or my driving to the cloud."

"The tire takes data from the road, and sends it to your car, to other cars, to the cloud, and everywhere!" he said, reading the article's sub-headline.

Autoweek reported:

Pirelli just announced a major step forward in its strategy to transform tires into AI-enabled road-monitoring agents, the company said at the recent SelectUSA Investment Summit, where it presented what it has named its Cyber Tire technology. Toward that end, the Italian tiremaker acquired a 30 percent stake in Swedish AI company Univrses, strengthening the integration of advanced computer vision technologies into Pirelli's Cyber Tire system.

Wait, what is this?

"Cyber Tire is the world's first hardware-and-software system capable of collecting data and information from sensors embedded in tires," the company said, "processing them through Pirelli's proprietary software and algorithms, and, by communicating in real time with the vehicle's electronics, enabling new functionalities integrated with driving and control systems to enhance the driving experience and increase safety levels, as well as supporting connected infrastructure."

"You got to like the idea that it's going to involve AI," Lehto said satirically. "I just hope my tires don't hallucinate while I'm driving."

The lawyer covered how the cyber tire would communicate road conditions (potholes, ice, water, snow) to other cars.

"So I don't know that I want my car taking advice from other cars on the road," he said.

Lehto read how advanced tire sensors require batteries, saying "because the last thing you need is 'oh your tires need replacing, their batteries died'."

Pirelli is not the only tire manufacturer that has discussed embedding computer chips into their tires, Continental discussed RFID technology being embedding into tires:

In the rapidly evolving automotive landscape, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is emerging as a revolutionary tool, particularly in tire data management. This innovative technology not only simplifies data exchange but also brings about a new level of efficiency and accuracy in tracking and managing.

Michelin already embeds RFID into tires, according to an article in Jalopnik, which poked fun at people who are skeptical of the surveillance grid and perhaps Alex Jones himself with a quip about "black helicopters":

OK, so don't panic, but Michelin has been putting RFID chips in our tires for some time now. Before you start watching the sky for black helicopters as you drive to the Piggly Wiggly, Michelin isn't trying to spy on you. That's Google's job. What it is trying to do is to streamline manufacturing, delivery, maintenance, and end-of-life sorting with easy identification of the tire itself.

Lehto made a point about cybersecurity as it relates to "smart" technologies and data collection as a whole.

"I don't care how secure anybody claims anything is, we have heard about data breaches from everybody," he said. "Banks? Sure why not. From actual internet security companies? Remember that one? Sure, uhh yeah it turns out that they're not real good at internet security."

Alex Jones Live has recently been reporting on medical system data breaches and how the answer to sensitive data and biometrics being leaked is … the collection of more sensitive data and biometrics.
