Jokes aside what's that thingy? And what would happen if you cut it? I know 0 about cars X3

It‘s the government tracking antenna duh

[–] onion@feddit.de 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

1 Valve for adding air to the tire 2 the tire would deflate

[–] TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 years ago

Ohhh yeah that makes sense ty X3

[–] BurningRiver@beehaw.org 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

On newer cars, there is actually a chip in there (the valve stem, where you put air in your tire) for the tire pressure monitoring system. It tells you what pressure each tire is at on the dashboard.

Oh yeah! I've seen that monitoring thingy in some cars like the ones that have a screen and stuff, I did wonder how it knew the pressure of the tires X3 ty for tye info! :>

[–] vardogor@mander.xyz 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i would go check the air in your tires rn if you didn't know what that was

[–] TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't have a car X3 and my parents haven't either since years ago so I've never had to worry about tires :p

Not so crazy as it looks

Because each tire transmits a unique identifier, vehicles may be easily tracked using existing sensors along the roadway.[19] This concern could be addressed by encrypting the radio communications from the sensors but such privacy provisions were not stipulated by the NHTSA.

Meanwhile, your car has it's own cellular connection...and you have a phone in your pocket.

Gonna start using "Contract Refused!" like "Uno Reverse!"

[–] tvbusy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

See the white, metal looking thing in the image? That's another tracking device from the government to track people wherever they do. They even put it in all 4 of your wheels so they will know when to issue you a traffic ticket. Remove them. /s

[–] jaykay@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago

Also the 5 silver hexagonal things, they easily unscrew fortunately, you should have a wrench in your car for them anyway. It’s a no brainer

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It's true. If you remove this antenna, the government will look and they'll think your car is just sitting in the driveway.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Holy shit they put four of these trackers on my car, one on each tire!

[–] mediOchre@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)
