A device that is new to the average automobile could prevent as many as 30, 000 accidents and 660 deaths every year in the United States. According to Clyde Stech, President, MAXAIR ATMI, Inc., which created the safety system, "This feature is ready and available and could be on all new automobiles. It's a matter of consumers demanding it and auto manufacturers making it available."

Evidently, similar systems have been used in the trucking industry for years. The system MAXAIR detects and fill under inflated tires through an onboard compressor. The cost to the manufacturer of putting this device in a new vehicle is about $200. It has been reported that the new auto safety device can also save drivers a total of $5 billion in gas and reduce CO2 emissions by 250lbs per car annually.
