Tires are supposed to leave tracks – not track us.

Someone should tell the tire companies. Who aren’t telling us about the tracking devices they’re embedding in the tires they’re selling to us – and which can be used to keep track of our comings and goings without our even knowing about it, much less having consented to it.

The devices are called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags – chips, really. They are extremely small buggers – about the size of a grain of rice or even smaller than that – and have been in general use since at least the early 2000s for what is blandly styled Automatic Identification and Data Capture. Which means that wherever the chipped item, animal – or person – is or has been or is going can be kept track of automatically and in perpetuity.

The chips are activated by scanners – and so don’t need an internal power source, such as a battery – which would eventually die. The chip can therefore remain active – or rather, capable of activation (and tracking) for years, possibly decades.

Ostensibly, they are used for inventory tracking.

That’s not the objectionable part. A tire manufacturer has every right to keep track of its tires while they are in the warehouse, or on their way from the warehouse to the retailer – and while they are on the retailer’s shelves. Because at this point, the tires are still the property of the tire company, or the retailer.

But once you buy the tires, they become your property – at which point the manufacturer of the tire (and the retailer who sold you the tire) loses all rights to the tire, including the right to track the tire, or use the tire to track you. 

At the moment of purchase – of transfer of ownership – the RFID chip in the tires ought to be rendered automatically inert, so they can no longer be used to keep track of your tires. Or your comings and goings. Unless you specifically agree otherwise.

But the tire companies – and this includes almost all of the major players (more here) such as Michelin, Continental, Cooper, Bridgestone and Pirelli – are not even letting their customers know the tires they just bought are chipped, much less offering to zap the chips before the car leaves the shop.

This isn’t inventory control.

It is control.

Which is why they don’t tell you about the chips – much less offer to zap them into inertness. There is so much data to be captured, you see.

Automatically.

Outrageously.

Profitably.

The data being collected – and sold – is currently worth an estimated $8-9 billion, on track to double by 2026. It is of great value to various interested parties to know your driving habits.

The insurance mafia, for instance.

Chipped tires could work (and perhaps already do work) as a way to keep the mafia informed of the miles you drive, as well as when, where and how those miles are accumulated – the better to profile you. Presumably, the chipped tires could also transmit data about speed as well. All sorts of things.

But it’s not just the insurance mafia (more about them here).

Knowing your habits, where you go – and when – as well as how long you stay and where you stay – also makes targeting you with ads and offers tailored to your habits and inclinations that much more effective, that much more profitable. Think Minority Report, the dystopian (but accurately predictive) 2002 Tom Cruise movie, based on the novel by sci-fi author Phillip K. Dick. Wherever you go, the ads follow you – are tailored to you.

And we’re not being cut in for so much as free cup of coffee the next time we buy a set of tires.

And that’s the rub – or at least, one of them.

RFID technology – like any technology – isn’t evil in se. It is how it’s used that makes it evil. Those who use it against us without our knowledge and consent are evil in the same general way that a person who uses a  gun to rob people is evil. In the same way that person who cheats or embezzles money is evil.

More of your conspiracy theory bullshit.

RFID can in NO way be used to TRACK anything. It merely reads the information that is contained on the device. Keep in mind that RFID is a relatively short-range technology. You can't put a tag on a tire, put the tire on a vehicle, and then read that tag as the vehicle is driven from one place to another.

You need a GPS to track. Suppose someone did want to track the movement of a tire. They can scan the RFID, then IF there is a GPS device on the vehicle, only then can it be tracked in real time.

You continue to amaze me as you are a continuing source of free entertainment.

The J.B. Hunt Transport Services is one of the largest truck transportation companies in the US and it definitely has dire reasons to track the tires installed on its trucks. However, the J.B. Hunt Transport Services currently has NO means of tracking tires. And neither does anyone else have the ability to track the location of tires using RFID technology. It is IMPOSSIBLE to use RFID technology to do this.

J.B. Hunt Transport Services is one of the leading transportation and logistics companies of the U.S. To keep this leadership position, the company invests in new technology and innovations in transportation and logistics field. Today there is an aggressive thrust on RFID research and development in logistics, supply chain management, and tracking. The efficient implementation of RFID technology in J.B. Hunt logistics will benefit the company to stay ahead of the pack in the transportation sector. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag is an object that can be attached to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves. In this case, we will be applying RFID technology to tires so that J.B. Hunt can have a better management of their tire system. The tire system management can be articulated as providing the tire management team with accurate information about the tire inventory at each Terminal/Maintenance facility and also the pressure on each tire of every truck at any given time. J.B. Hunt Transport Services is in need for a RFID system design. The system design includes defining the hardware and software architecture, components, modules, and interfaces for implementing RFID in their tire tracking management system. Along with a tire tracking system, J.B Hunt, is also interested to implement a pressure reading technology to their system. The Senior Vice-President at Information Systems Department at J.B. Hunt, Ken Mangold is working closely with the University and willing to provide necessary information and support material regarding the project.

J.B. Hunt Transport Services currently has no means of tracking tires, in addition their measures of reading tire pressures are inefficient and time consuming. In order to measure the pressure of each tire they must send a technician to visit each truck and manually read the pressures. The company also suffers from a wide extent of theft of new tires by truck drivers. When brand new tires have been placed on trucks, there is no guarantee that these same tires will remain on the truck. Often, the brand name tires that were placed on the truck are replaced by a used, lower quality, and unknown brand tires. To prevent this problem a tire tracking system can be very helpful. The next cost mounting event happens with tire warranties. All tires are purchased with at least a 10,000 mile warranty. The company hardly ever benefits from the warranty because of the lack of information about each tire. Safety measures are considered when a tire is not inflated to the standard pressure level. If the tire pressure is low, a tire might explode and become hazardous on the road. Every business wants their product to be transported in a safe truck with good tires. The amount of dollars that is being lost everyday can also hurt the company in the long run.

When people like Eric write these articles having no basis in fact and you post them, you do so with the sole intent to misguide and spread malicious propaganda to incite people to hate and rise up. Fortunately, there are people who immediately recognize the information in these articles are untrue and disregard them.

On the other hand, it is most unfortunate that some people like the imbecilic Stoner are really ignorant and believe the misinformation you spread….as he did when you posted one such article and he responded to it by getting all UPSET and replying: ”THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY !!!”. You really need to stop spreading these malicious articles and compromising the thoughts of some weak-minded and afflicted people.

Perhaps the following information will show you the error of the article. Well, maybe not….but I will present it anyway.

Can RFID Be Used to Track the Movements of Goods Across the Country? .

Radio frequency identification can be used to monitor the movements of goods across the country. Keep in mind that RFID is a relatively short-range technology. You can't put a tag on a pallet and then read that tag as the pallet is driven on a truck from one place to another. Typically, RFID tags are attached to products and then, once those goods are loaded onto a truck, the tags are read and associated with a specific vehicle bound for a particular destination. When the goods arrive, the tags are interrogated and a central database is updated, indicating the goods arrived at the new location.

If there is a GPS device on a truck, the vehicle and the goods it is carrying can be tracked in real time. Sometimes, there is an RFID reader on the truck that will read temperature-sensing tags, and this information can be communicated via GSP. So if the temperature increases within the truck compartment, an alert will be sent to the central station.

The important thing to understand is that RFID is a truly automatic identification technology. As goods are shipped to or arrive at any location, one need not spend a lot of time and labor to count items or scan bar codes. The data can be captured automatically, making it possible to collection information about billions of items moving through thousands of locations, with very little additional labor.

I hope this clears up any misconception about the “tracking” ability of RFID….there is NONE. And I look forward to be the continuing source of your much need education to factual reality.

At your service, I remain …
