This is just wrong. Criminals will have this before law enforcement.
A good idea that will be abused.
There are more and more reasons to buy a used car every day.
Imagine a total war where the ChiComs hack every Vehicle in United States before a massive attack. These control freaks are ridiculous, insane, and dangerous.
Thanks for driving up the price of my used car because no one will want to buy those things.
no way government will misuse this. LEO, like the asset forfeiture laws, will only use this sparingly.
Mandatory car kill switches, surveillance cameras on our roads nationwide…..
Everything but real infrastructure.
But we knew that.
I did Nazi this coming.
Cool new growth industry - removing kill switches from new cars :)
I like kill switches. I’ve installed one in every car I own.
But I like freedom more. You want a kill switch, put in a kill switch. If not, don’t. It’s none of the government’s business either way.
What the freak is a “kill switch”?
Kill Bill Switch?
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better vanished time
Like a .22 round installed in the steering column pointed at the operator?
The infrastructure bill passed with the help of these nineteen Assistant Democrats.
Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)
Plus 13 Assistant Democrats in the House.
My truck is fully paid for and my wife’s car has 4 payments left and it will be “free and clear”. We do not want another car payment on our budget, so we won’t be buying any new car in the future.
I am looking for a “project” car/truck from the late 60s, though.

Just a “small” part of the plan to have total control over the American people...a few years from now we may be wondering if we would have more freedom if we migrated to China, Cuba, North Korea....
So we need to learn how to disable them. They will be very dangerous. Cars on highways will just slam to a stop. If there is a kill switch, there will be a listening device. That is likely to be in the navigation area. They will say its for updates. At some point you will see people complain that they were just driving along and suddenly their car turned off.
I had a Jag XJ. It rebooted every time I passed a certain spot on a highway. I lost the dashboard and all the electronics in the control panel as well as the radio. But it did not stop the car. I could still drive.
When you get a new car don’t let them connect it to your phone. Your car will have a 5G receiver. It will listen even when its turned off. The police will always know where it is. They will know who is in it. They will be able to hear you. And they will know which phones have been in the car. This is already true of many high end cars. Your auto-start or theft location device are the features they will use to get you to attach your phone. The bluetooth phone calls is what they use to get you to turn on the listening device.
They don’t do it now, but in the future they will store all your conversations in the car. As memory gets cheaper, they will start recording a storing conversations from your phone, car computer, TV. They have the ability. They don’t have the cheap storage to do it yet. But they are working on it.

Unintended consequence: more cops killed.
Those engaged in crimes will learn that “flight” is not a viable option, so they’ll have to prepare for “fight”.
