As of October 2014 the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks,” WikiLeaks writes. “The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations.” Hastings, an acclaimed war correspondent and vocal critic of government mass surveillance, died in the early hours of Tuesday, June 18, 2013, when his Mercedes C250 Coupe apparently lost control and burst into flames before slamming into a palm tree.

NOBODY at FR THOUGHT ANYTHING ELSE THAN THIS WHEN HE DIED.

Cars burst into flames in Hollywood movies and some covered up defects. RARE.

Smart everything is just gonna be great.

#### that. I can order pizza and change the channel and thermostat myself.

Think of HOW LIBERAL the companies leading in this tech sector are!!!

You can put a piece of tape over your webcam and shut your mic.

Smart stuff, not so much.

This is a picture of a car that blew up and came to rest on a tree and not one that hit the tree at 60+ mph. [The engine flew out of the car before impact about 100 ft]

How long til they get around to Seth Rich’s death? The only question to answer is, was his death a Clintonicide, an Obamacide, or a Podestacide?

The moral is, always have a document disclosure “deadman’s switch” (or two or three) that will activate in the event of your death.

Everyone might want to read this:

https://www.wired.com/2016/08/jeep-hackers-return-high-speed-steering-acceleration-hacks/

We are presently using OBD II ( on-board diagnostics, Second Generation) in the computers that control our cars engines and transmissions. OBD III is coming and it will allow law enforcement to shut down your car at will. Then of course there’s this matter of “self-driving cars” coming soon. You don’t think for a minute that when that happens, “authorities” won’t have the ability to take control of your car?

Good point. This has concerned me. One clue is in a Podesta email. It's in the context of leaks. Podesta says something along the lines of (I'm paraphrasing) :
"We have to make a serious example. Someone has to pay in order to stop these leaks. It doesn't matter who; somebody has to go down, in order to scare everyone into line."

The DAY BEFORE he died, Hastings visited the woman who lived in same complex, roughly across from him:

“Can I borrow your beat-up Volvo for a bit..? Someone has been messing around with my Mercedes...”

Alas, the car was in need of repair and for safety she felt she had to turn him down.

THE DAY BEFORE.

If they cause me to have an accident when they take control of my vehicle they better be ready to pay the claim. And II they have access to a killswitch they need to be only able to use it only under certain conditions, otherwise they'll use it set up traffic stops and pull over pretty women. Personally I think they'll abuse their privileges; maybe not at first but later. You don't want to give people like Democrats, Obama, Clinton, or their cronies access to this type of system.
