Magic tires
These new tires with built-in sensors can actually help with the alignment of your car. The sensors communicate through a small CPU located in the rim to the vehicles information system.
Flex
The CPU in the rim utilizes wireless technology to communicate with the vehicle information system and receives commands to flex band at certain times, enabling the tire to maintain a level pressure on the inner sidewall to help achieve optimum tire alignment. I would imagine that this would also be able to eliminate the need for tire rotation and balancing.
I need more information to fully understand this, but I like the idea.

First that I have seen anything like this. This would be worth doing some more research on.
