Question
Wireless Temperature S

Similar to Measuring Instruments showing us the Speed driven (Kilometers/Hour), Distance covered (Kilometers/Miles), Fuels
capacity/consumption (Petrol,Diesel,Gas) is it possible to show
the Temperature Readings of the Brake Fluid in Degree Celsius or Fahrenheit to the Vehicle Driver ?.
Can a Temperature sensor (wired/wireless) device installation/fixing in the vehicle viz two wheelers, three wheelers, four wheelers help in this regard for displaying the Hydraulic fluid temperature ?

As mentioned in the article "The brake fluid will boil when it over heats and failed the entire braking system."
Buzzing/Audible Alarms signals will be raised in advance to the vehicle driver if brake fluid temperature has exceeded/crossed the threshold limit.
Awaiting your inputs & views,
Thanks & Regards,

AnswerSure, it's possible. Whether it's marketable is another story.
Generally, the only overheated hydraulics you'll find on a motorcycle will be either 1) in very poor repair/neglect (old waterlogged fluid) or 2) on a racebike. Riders who don't care for their machines won't lay out money for a fluid temp sensor, and racers ride streamlined bikes with few frills.
The nearest comparison is a tire temperature/pressure sensor, and even thought they're useful, widely available and reliable, I don't know of any riders who use them. In fact, I used to have one but got bored of it after a week.
I guess what I'm saying is it's a solution to a problem that doesn't need solving. Maybe putting it in big tractor-trailer combos that take mountain passes?
