According to an article written by former U.S. Representative Bob Barr, hidden away in the recently passed infrastructure bill, the very one I warned before would negatively impact drivers across the country if it were to pass, is a measure to install vehicle kill switches into every new car, truck, and SUV sold in this country. The regulation likely won’t be enforced for five years, so maybe there’s time to do something about this. …
It gets even better: Barr points out that the bill, which has been signed into law by President Biden, states that the kill switch, which is referred to as a safety device, must “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired.” In other words, Big Brother will constantly be monitoring how you drive. If you do something the system has been programmed to recognize as driver impairment, your car could just shut off, which could be incredibly dangerous.
There is the possibility the kill switch program might measure your driving as impaired, then when you try to start the car up again the engine won’t fire up. That would potentially leave you stranded.
But wait, there’s more. This kill switch “safety” system would be open, or in other words there would be a backdoor. That would allow police or other government authorities to access it whenever. Would they need a warrant to do that? Likely not. Even better, hackers could access the backdoor and shut down your vehicle.

Apparently a common dealer scam to try and milk the buyer for a cheesy “upgrade”
Fact it, as it modifies the factory wiring, it voids the waranty on electrical system.
Always check for dealer installed crap like this and do not buy if installed.
Thanks for tip
That will never happen no new car dealership would be safe from umm lighting fires.
Remember the reserve currency of the world is the US petrol dollar. Anything that is done to damage the oil industry also damages the dollar. Evs are a win win for the communists
A remote-stop feature would have helped yesterday’s news of a motoring, but sleeping, driver in his Tesla!
bump
The dealer actually did that for my grandmother on her new 74 Chevelle.
He would probably get in big trouble if he did that nowadays...
