Canada recently showed why a government might want all vehicles to have kill switches.
FIXED!
On election day, approximately half the country may find that their cars don’t start. But don’t worry — the problem will likely resolve itself by Wednesday.
Jumper wire kit on sale now get them while they last.
Exactly why the left is pushing EVs.
I mentioned this a few times a while back and everyone thought I was paranoid.
I see an opportunity in the ransom ware hacking industry.
Millions and millions of new targets.
I said it a couple of weeks back, I’ll say it again: Anybody who voted yes on this 4000+ page monstrosity should be rotting in a cell.
But obviously, I do not support even the passive monitoring system.
Chinese company already probably lined up to make the ‘beat-the-kill-switch’ device....$100 for installation.
Remove travel and freeze bank accounts...
Soon we’ll all “be criminals”. I think there’s a book about doing this...
[[. 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 should be a law against passing laws that endangers civilians
Does anyone have ONSTAR? If they can unlock your car, they can turn it off too.
Kill switches are the main reason for the push to EVs. It’s not about the environment, it’s about control.
support your local police. :)
Governments no longer work for their people but now want to totally control the slaves
I’m sure there are many, many things for contained within that 4000 page monstrosity that are designed to further diminish American’s freedom while lining the pockets of the favored few.
What they REALLY want is the data link between cars and the government, which will be required for the kill switch to work. Once they have that, life gets FAR EASIER to control what people do with their cars, and the list of what they can do is endless (such as setting speed limits inside of cars, limiting what days you can drive, etc.).
What will be interesting, though, is whether one requires the data link to even start a car, such as in the morning to drive to work (in other words, will cars default-off without a signal?). If not, then the logical thing to do is try to disable the link.
Next thing you know, if your Social Credit score is too low, your nifty computer-controlled car is disabled. Maybe they disable your cellphone too.
Anything that can be mandated can be bypassed.
Then it is not your property. It belongs to the government.
