New Israeli Patent: Electronic Valve Deflates Tires in
Event of Theft
By S. Fried
A patent was recently registered in Israel for a
revolutionary device that could reduce car thefts: an
electronic valve that lets the air out of the tires in the
event of an attempted car theft.
Invented by two brothers, the smart valve is connected to a
system that identifies unauthorized drivers. By deflating the
tires the system leaves the would-be thief with no choice
other than to abandon the car or call for a tow truck.
The device also has a safety feature that makes deflation
impossible while the car is in motion. Registered
internationally, the new idea is already drawing wide
interest.
