Welcome!
It's a much neater solution than tyrewiz's - but I'm still dubious as to what (if any) use this can offer, except for riders to be able to radio to team cars when they notice a drop in pressure indicative of a puncture or burp?
It would be nice if it paired with Connect of something to remind me to pump up my tubeless setup when it's been sat in a shed for a while....
But then again I'm absolutely not a racer, so perhaps there are angles I can't conceive of here.
This totally looks like something that really is useful only if you race. If you are a recreational rider without any ambitions to ride, you can just check pressure before a ride and everything is fine.
I have a set on my gravel bike which is probably a better use case than road, but my favorite thing about it is the confidence it gives you after you have an issue. Rather than wondering if a puncture has fully sealed or second guessing if a tire starts feeling soft mid-ride I can just keep an eye on the pressure without stopping. On gravel especially I like knowing the tires are okay during chunky descents. The three wishes I have for them before adding to other bikes are cleaner integration, better price, and doubling as a wheel speed sensor.
Thats cool, but it still feels very much extra..
