I wonder if this has applications for sensing in self-driving cars.

  AI-equipped cars with a real sense of feeling in their tires. It’ll be like the sensation of touch for them. Everything they run over, they will feel. Make them learn that animals feel gross to touch. Make them feel remorse for running over a human. Boom! Self-driving safety solved!

      Yeah that’s exactly what we need. An AI that calls us “daddy” That can’t possibly go wrong. Nope.

    > feeling in their tires. Ignoring the rest... I feel like this would be much easier to accomplish with acoustic sensors and wheel/suspension telemetry, given that an attentive human driver can sort of "feel" the road surface already.
