Check out these technologies being considered for trucks in the near future.
Vehicle Service Pros
More than merely extensions of technologies presently in use (like lane sensors, inter vehicle communication, or crash avoidance devices), these are potential game-changers that will likely be used in the near future. The last item, the force-sensing bolts and studs, are especially intriguing to me. They are probably talking about a piezoresistive or a nanoparticle-based strain gauge built into the fastener that will exactly measure the amount of stretch generated when the bolt is tightened. These could be used for cylinder head bolts or fasteners in other critical applications.

The technology for trucks is really amazing, I see it even in the common commercial car. It tells you when the tires are off balance or when theres a crash. I can totally see this technology advancing in the very near future

Lug nut torque would be a great place to use the strain sensing bolts.
