I am surprised this technology has not been embraced by the Automobile and other idustries that use wheels and tire technologies in their vehicles
and devices.
Probably because tires/wheels are big business, especially being made partially from oil. Also, better mileage and less gas consumption means less
money spent from consumer. Reminds me of the notion for a potential cure for cancer, which would take mass money from the system of treatment. The
same may apply for tires, if there is a "cure" for ephemeral tires, many industries stand to lose dinero. Capitalism is great, but at the same time
it seems to hold us back at times, limiting the advent of revolutionary technologies that empower the individual more than the industry.
