Now Big Brother wants to control the gas pedal in your car 'Fully prevent drivers from exceeding the speed limit'

Just when you thought there were no parts of your life not already under the thumb of the federal government, a new idea emerges.

This time it comes from the National Transportation Safety Board and it involves outsiders having control of the gas pedal in your car.

While you're driving, of course.

The proposal from the NTSB is to install "intelligent speed assistance" tech in all cars, a system that uses a car's GPS location and local speed limit postings "to help ensure safe and legal speeds."

You can also bet that if the car does exceed the speed limit, once the governing switch/software is aware and activated... you will have to go to a mechanic to get it reset.

And I’d wager that before a mechanic can reset anything he will have to report it to law enforcement.

Basically not only will they (try) to limit your speed, you will also be driving with an onboard traffic camera whos only purpose is to ticket you.

How about you are trying to hurry home because you have a case of the scours? Or you are bleeding from a chainsaw cut?

People will die, too, attempting to flee from emergencies. Imagine getting limited in a wildfire.

Soon AI will control your car enough that instead of police pulling you off the road and arresting you, the car will lock all doors and windows, and drive you to the holding room in the police dept.

“I’ll never understand the insatiable need for some to control others. Almost always the target is normal, law abiding citizens.”

Which accurately describes the police in far too many jurisdictions.

This day will come to planet Earth 🌎🌍

The New World Order Fourth Beast of Daniel 7:23 will exercise '1984' control over the Global Citizens. The New Nazis want to control EVERYTHING.

Tribulation Saints will recognize the Antichrist and False Prophet AND refuse the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 20:4)

Matthew 24:15-21

King James Version

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

They won’t even enforce the many laws already in place.

Instead, They seem to prefer taking away people’s choices. Gas stoves, lightbulbs, now how fast a car can go. I’m sure there are many other instances.

Yet, in the minds of these tyrants, ONE ACCIDENT out of those 122 TRILLION MILES justifies taking control of every single vehicle in the USA.

Well, they have spent decades making people no-brained bleeding hearts who actually believe the false, silly, saying, "If it saves only one life everything is worth it."

Exactly. We have been discussing this aspect for years...and not just a few of us.

Can the rest of society be clueless enough to not make that connection?

I used to dwell on subjects where I would consider the possibility of the authorities using some thing in such a way that I would consider just...wrong, and I would think “Nah. Don’t think they would do that.”

I have found over time that there is nearly nothing I think unfettered government won’t do. Nothing.

And that is quite unsettling, to say the least.

Oh great…as if the 18-wheelers passing each other along I-40 at 65MPH , taking two miles to get around each other isn’t bad enough.

No matter what you want to do, there is someone in the government who wants to stop it or control it.

I found lots of good info to extract off the Ford data busses. I also had to simulate 2 Nissan Infiniti cars to test the telematics unit. The Infiniti engineers visited my lab and were impressed to interact with a simulation of cars that were only specifications at their office.

One of the objectives of my simulators was to go into the field in a brief case and drive around the country interacting with the tower base stations from multiple vendors to identify any compatibility issues. At one point the company VP asked me to incorporate scripting capability in the simulator. That was an easy insert using "jython". Much of the code was in Java, so "jython" enabled writing python scripting. The actual simulator code was all C++ in Windows. There was some logging created for analysis of interaction with the field devices. All of that was aimed at reliability. It wasn't for snooping on a customer.

....... LOL ..... With these limiters on all cars Nobody will be able to pass slow vehicles ... We will all be traveling at the same speed as the Semi-Trucks on the freeway. Although cops would not need to worry about car chases any more ...

The “15-minute city” seems a lot like a ghetto. In the original, Jewish/NAZI sense of the word.
