Pirelli tire is bringing out a new tire pressure monitoring system (called K-Pressure Acoustic Blue) that actually resides in the tire valve caps and transmits the low-pressure data to your cell phone via blue-tooth. The power-source for the system is the actual spinning of the wheel, and data-transmission happens when the vehicle first starts moving. Their target weight for these special valve caps is six (6!) grams, or about 1/4 ounce.

Now, if that wasn't good enough, they've also developed a combined system for bikes called SWS that retains an actual high-pressure reserve inside the rim and adds air to the tire as needed, while simultaneously notifying the rider of a pressure loss... Great to notify you of a puncture AND keep your tires filled for 9-12 months without any human intervention if you don't get any!
