Maybe they have this technology I don't know but most people run their tires around 100psi and there are 18 of them to check. It takes a while. The trucks have onboard air for the brake system. It would be cool if somehow the truck automatically kept all the tires aired up to 100 psi.

How about a warning/indicator/light in cab to tell you if your 5th wheel is actually locked on the king pin.

I like that. The snow and ice may be problematic. Hard to say.

That's easy. Automatically clean the INSIDE of the windows.

The tire inflation system is available and a no brainer IMO. Ordered it on the newest trailer.
