I think the DCCT is a minor miracle. These tire companies move at glacial speeds. China's tagging everything and it will give us a lot of revenue to tide us over until the tire guys get off the fence.
And like the quality control point you bring up, I hope AIDO is not infringing on any Michelin and Goodyear IP or agreements in building their own tire tags. Legal hassles with the big boys could also be catastrophic.
