Onstar on steroids? (If onstar can unlock your car, pretty sure they can turn it off as well) Or just making it a part of all new vehicles. What could possibly go wrong?

This is why I stopped buying GM vehicles years ago. Onstar can disable your vehicle and you can’t buy a GM vehicle without it.

This technology will be able to "passively monitor the performance" of all drivers

"I saw what you posted on Twitter, Dave. Your social performance is lacking."
"Hey, start my car! I need to get to work!"
"I afraid I can't do that, Dave."

Think about this...let’s say you published an unapproved article critical of the government. Or you showed up at a school board meeting and protested what was being taught to the kids. Or you attended a rally for an unfavored candidate.

Now imagine driving back home to say, Minnesota or North Dakota. It is winter. You are on a rural road. It’s very cold. They shut your car down.

Or you live in Arizona. It is summertime. It is over 110 degrees. You are miles from the nearest store. All of a sudden you car stops. Nothing on it works.

Who is Michael Hastings?

So if someone doesn’t like your conservative social media posts, your gun purchases, your GOP registration, refusal to get a shot, or etc. they’ll retaliate by disabling your car.

That’s what this is about.

So when I start swerving to avoid the potholes that the Build Back Bolshevik bill failed to fix then my car will shut down thinking I’m drunk.

They had to pass the law to let us know what is in it.

My respect for those who drive and/or restore older vehicles grows by the day. Granted, parts for old cars aren’t particularly easy to get, but I’m guessing that if they can’t be gotten by conventional methods, a black market-type setup will always exist as long as the knowledge of how to make the parts survives.

the GOP and DNC want to control and tax your every move,
except when they SELL YOU to the Vatican or Malta
or their INSURANCE companies.

they are the EVIL that sold out America.

These are the Assistant Democrats that voted for it.

Plus these Assistant Democrats in the House: Van Drew, Katko, Bacon, YoungAK, Upton, Kinzinger, SmithNJ, Fitzpatrick, Reed, Gabarino, GonzalezOH, McKinley.

The Democrats needed GOP help and they got it.

We have to stop re-electing Assistant Democrats.

In 2014 the EU wanted to create a kill switch for cars. It hasn’t really come to anything yet.

Buttgigger has been demanding this ever since he got nominated for Transportation Queen.

And before him, all sorts of thuggish authoritarian leftist Sorosian -Schwabian - 0bamaians.

I guess they think that just taking away your vehicles right up front is just one step too far for now.

Not vaccinated? You can’t start your vehicles. And no electricity at your house.
