Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are described for sensing tire, vehicle, and/or surface conditions using tire-mounted sensors. An example tire assembly includes a vehicle tire, a substrate adapted to deform in accordance with deformation of the vehicle tire, and a set of conductive liquid sensors coupled to the vehicle tire via the substrate, where an electrical resistance of the set of conductive liquid sensors changes in accordance with deformation of the substrate.
