I hate tire pressure sensors, they are amazingly flaky and makes you uneasy about driving. That and the stupid alarms in my car that informs me that the temperature is below 4 degrees, it disturbs my driving.

You should be uneasy about driving.

For most people, it’s the most dangerous thing you will do today. If you are going to kill someone, it’s with your car.

But I don’t need flaky sensors alert me of no existing problem. That just makes everything worse.

False positives are annoying, but not knowing about a true positive is fatal.
