Spring said many self-driving vehicles are tested on the west coast in warm, dry areas. But what happens when that car needs to travel in Cleveland in mid-January?, a startup company focused self-driving trucks, researched during recent tests in Toronto. Spring said this gives companies more information about their vehicles in real time. Even something simple like tires pressure can make a difference on the bottom line — like fuel economy.
When a bus has a “deflation event” and breaks down mid-route, it can be a huge hassle. Another bus is sent out. Riders have to wait. And a lane of a busy road is blocked until a tow truck can arrive.“If it’s an unplanned event it’s impacting a lot of people,” Conrad said. “Imagine you go to the airport and the airplane is not there.”
Conrad said SARTA is using Sightline tires on 15 of its buses. Some are diesel and some are electric and powered by hydrogen fuel cells. SARTA has about 50 buses in total. He said this pilot will run into this summer.

It's the first time the EPA's annual survey has tried to estimate the number of lead pipes.
