Default Low tire presure.

I have a 2017 Q5 and a 2017 Q7. Yesterday, the low tire pressure light came on in the Q5. I could not tell by just looking at the tires so I figured the vehicle should be able to tell me the individual tire pressures. I have owned many new cars and different brands and at-least for the last decade or so, the technology has always been there. To my surprise, the only thing I could find was the TPMS system and the only option available was to reset the tire pressure values. I could not find anywhere what the actual pressure was in the individual tire. I ended up going to the gas station and filling all four tires but am still puzzled. Am I missing something?

Yes, the car companies are moving to sensor-less systems and less feedback is provided to the driver.

+1. Cost-cutting move by manufacturers for their lower tier models. Also, eliminate a source of headache for owners when any of the four individual sensors fail.
