I think it's ridiculous that tire pressure monitoring systems are required. I recently learned that Honda has figured out how to use the wheel speed sensors to comply with TPMS requirements on certain vehicles, like my sister's 2016 CRV. When I was shopping for a new wheel and tire package for her CRV, I couldn't find any TPMS sensors available and later discovered that the car doesn't actually use them. It would be more cost-effective if certain regulations were bundled together and I hope more automakers follow Honda's lead in eliminating the need for in-wheel TPMS sensors.
