Abstract
An automotive safety device includes a housing and a removable support assembly having a base and support members pivotally attached to the base and moveable between a first, closed position and a second, open position. Each support member is arranged directly adjacent to an outer surface of the housing in the first position. In the second position, the support members allow the device to be freestanding. A first light source is arranged on the housing such that the device may function as an emergency roadside light. The device further includes a tire pressure gauge, including a pressure sensor, a processor, and a display, wherein the processor is configured to output a value on the display indicative of a measured pressure.
