So they are normally Tire/brake/bearing failure related fires IMO. Wonder if there are currently heat sensitive driver warning devices available to help reduce these outcomes with expensive cargo? Doesn't seem much of. a stretch with current technology. Could have been worse.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

railroads use something similar to alert crews of hot wheel bearings

Yes something like that, but I believe the RR solution is fixed, and monitors rail cars as they pass by.
Seems like it might also reduce road side mysterious brush fires.
Last week I stopped and put out a fire shoulder fire that apparently was started by trailer wheel fire I passed later parked on the shoulder farther down the road.
