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.
No new truck for me once those go in. I can work around it.
