From 2007;
“General Motors plans to equip 1.7 million of its 2009 models with a system that allows OnStar operators to cut engine power in the car if the police request it. The system was demonstrated in Washington, D.C. today.”

Here’s what I mean. If Resistance #3 is the Big Brother kill switch, just short it out.
Please read my tagline. Welcome to the new Reich.
There needs to be some kind of “kill switch” on this runaway, out-of-control government...SHUT IT DOWN!!!
I thought such kill switch already existed.
They just keep on fascisting.
I predict a brisk market in kill-switch killing.
We need a law putting kill switches on ballot scanning machines that kick in at a minute past midnight

Absolutely, but the GOPe will not tamper with election machines, only personal driving machines. Hypocrites!
I guess I’ll be keeping my 2005 Yukon Denali for a while yet. Over a quarter million miles and it still runs great, all you have to do is keep up with the running gear.
My 15 year old grandson is turning into a motor head. He bought a 1974 Ford 250 recently, still can’t drive yet, but he is rebuilding it. He learned to rebuild a carburetor, bought another junker truck for the axle and scrubbed and rebuilt the motor. He is home schooled so has time everyday to work on his project.
He loves to tell us all, that when the “EMP” hits and we are all dead in the water with our new cars, he will be coming over to pick us up.
a “vehicle kill switch.”
I see an after market business springing up of disconnecting this “kill switch”, much like there was when the government mandated seat belts had to be fastened to start your car.
YES
How about skidding on a slippery road & trying to avoid a crash-—And your vehicle SHUTS DOWN????
Gee, and to think I was annoyed over third brake lights and seat belt buzzers.
Why does no one discuss the violations of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th amendments? Yess, the third; who cares if the soldier stationed in your home is an electronic one or a real one?
Our 2018 Rav4 will tell me to take a break and shows a cup of coffee if I am perceived by the car’s computer and sensors to be tired, drunk or whatever. Heck, navigating narrow Maine roads requires dodging all sorts of stuff, trash, construction, bicycles, joggers, etc.
Incredibly dangerous traveling down a three line highway at 65 MPH when your engine suddenly just stops and all you have is momentum to let you desperately fight your way to a shoulder.
It was random. Hard to reproduce. My mechanic would keep the car for a couple of days, drive it around, never see it. I kept telling him 'it started right after you replaced the distributor' but he would say it couldn't be that. This went on for months. After the catalytic converter got destroyed by misfires he said 'you know what, there was a fault in the distributor wiring, who would have imagined? I'll replace that for free. I'll be super careful this time. And the catalytic converter I destroyed will be charged at regular price for parts and labor'.
The car got traded in the next day. He's not my mechanic anymore.
The government should be euthanized.
I predicted this. I know these people like I know the back of my hand. They want total control. If they can stop your car “for your own safety” they can control your every movement.
Good idea.
Let’s mandate that all executive branch officials have this kill switch in their vehicles first.
Then move to the legislative branch and the judiciary.
(although I would like to see it used in the State Dept first)
