Tire puncture detection and alert

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• monitoring a grid circuit positioned in a tire to detect damage to conductors of the grid circuit;
• detecting damage to at least one of the conductors of the grid circuit;
• and
• transmitting information about the damage to a computer of a vehicle, wherein the information includes a location corresponding to the location of the damage to the conductors of the grid circuit, wherein the location is derived in part from gyroscope information.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, from a computational device coupled to a grid circuit in a tire, information about damage to the grid circuit;
• outputting an indication that the tire is damaged, wherein the indication that the tire is damaged includes a visual indication of a location on the tire corresponding to the damage to the grid circuit;
• and
• outputting instructions to a user of a vehicle to move the vehicle for accessing the damage, wherein the tire is on the vehicle, wherein the visual indication of the location on the tire corresponding to the damage to the grid circuit is updated in real-time in response to moving the vehicle, wherein the visual indication of the location on the tire corresponding to the damage to the grid circuit comprises a 3-dimensional (3D) representation of the tire.
