BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the
information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed
invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Nowadays people are very much open to travel any known or
unknown location as a part of their adventure activities. Such places can be any of
an unknown city or a remote location. In such cases there is a possibility of
someone getting struck because of car failure conditions such as but not limited to
flat tyre. This is one of the things which everyone might have faced in their lives.
