So 3xn^2 + 5=42 gives you n=3.51... So it wasn't that. Somebody knew what they were doing and put the vehicle deep into loss of control without warning operator. Loss of control is a conditional parameter, operator doesn't know about it until the vehicle is maneuvered.

I've never had that sort of failure, but even so, I don't think these things update in real time in that sense. A psi per second might take some seconds to show up. Some sensors have batteries, which means they are updating as little as possible. Mine are wheel powered.

My tire leaks have either been so slow, the shop can't find the leak, or the blow NOW! Once it took a few seconds, very few. I felt the car handling oddly as I took an exit and it was flat by the time I got to the bottom and was a wild ride going down! It's one thing to get a flat on the road, on a sharp curve it's something else!

I've blown tires twice (or more) from hitting high concrete curb. First time, i drag it a few hundred feet to a nearby tire store. Second time, i drove around a mile with a hole on the side wall, no air, on run-flat tire. Tire pressure monitoring won't make any difference. I only drive on run-flat tires now.

This says federal requirements are that it has to send an update at
least every 20 min:

<https://www.motor.com/magazine-summary/tpms-sensors-hit-retirement-age/>

That was 10 years ago though. I think it's largely implementation-dependent.

It doesn't seem inconceivable that the reporting interval isn't fixed,
that a sensor could log the pressure every 100mS or something and if
dP/dt isn't too high it only broadcasts every minute (more power hungry
than just logging), but it begins reporting more often proportional to
dP/dt.

I don't know how much of this is the car's responsibility and how much
the sensor does but the "sensor" ICs are highly configurable uPs in
their own right, the datasheet of this one as an example is 176 pages long:

I've definitely had the presume monitor on my old Gen 1 Volt alert me to
a tire deflating from a puncture so that I could pull off before it got
to the flappa-flappa point, no wild ride. It naturally happened at about
11 pm on a pouring rainy night about the middle of nowhere in
northeastern CT.

But the emergency goop-injector and air compressor aworked surprisingly
well and I was rolling again in about 15 min. If it had been a bust
severe enough to deflate the tire in just a couple seconds like a side
wall blowout, I doubt gooping it would've helped much.

Well if you fuckin' clobber the thing on a curb such that you rupture
the sidewall and it goes flat in one second then no it won't make any
difference. Have you considered not clipping curves, granma?

First time was dark at night. Couldn't see the island. Second time was just pulling over to park, at 5 to 10 MPH. Things happen.

It's ok I'm just messing with ya. I ripped a rocker panel right off on a
concrete stoop one time in a dark parking lot a few years ago,
fortunately on that car it was just a piece of grey ABS plastic held on
with clips, $82 NOS on the eBay.

I felt the car handling oddly as I took an exit and it was flat by the time I got to the bottom and was a wild ride going down! It's one thing to get a flat on the road, on a sharp curve it's something else!

Second time, i drove around a mile with a hole on the side wall, no air, on run-flat tire. Tire pressure monitoring won't make any difference. I only drive on run-flat tires now.

You have always been a twit, you usually hide it better though. It was an exit ramp and the tire had worn through on the inside tread because the rear was out of alignment from an accident years before. It developed that one flat, and never wore the tires oddly again. Weird. It was an old Nissan/Datsun (from the time they were changing the name) and only lasted 70,000 miles before the manual transmission locked in 5th gear.
