American cops love car chases. They always seem to have the whole thing filmed by a helicopter so it makes me wonder why they don't just follow the suspect with the chopper and arrest him when he stops. Why endanger all those people en route?
Plan B: Have a big helicopter with a large magnet underneath!
It can be done, but requires a big double engine model with enough lifting capacity- a regular passenger/police style chopper doesn't have anywhere near enough power.
My favourite bit of cartoon mechanics has to be the hot air balloon that is brought to a halt by the occupant throwing out an anchor on the end of a rope. The rope is not long enough for the anchor to reach the ground but the balloon stops anyway.
Your kid doesn't hand over his lunch money or provide test answers on demand to a bully, whose parent is a government bully. Your car is cancelled due to a "clerical error" that takes weeks to unjam...
The new Congress needs to be made aware of our dissatisfaction with this. They need to get rid of it the minute Republicans have full power. Then we need to develop software/hardware to override it.
Demand for used cars just went through the roof
exactly...the demand for pre-2020 cars/suv's/trucks will go parabolic. also, any pc, phone,etc with pre 2020 chipsets
You're way too late on the phones, bro.
All the pieces are being put in place. The frog is being constantly heated now.
They don't want you travelling too far. Your car knows where you are and if you exceed a certain distance from home then your car can be shut down.
However, karma is always fun. Just wait until we add the same functionality to their executive jets?
Sounds good. What is good for the goose, is good for the gander.

Helicopter with large magnet..... Did you ever write for Saturday morning cartoons in the 1970s?
I could see this image in my brain, but mostly in cartoon form. Not mocking the idea, maybe it could even work, but I got a good laugh out of it. :o)

That is Admiral Alladeen level ingenuity
This has to be against our rights.
What could possibly go wrong?

My car is from 2004. There is a reason for this.

This is nothing new. All GM vehicles with OnStar (which is standard regardless of you activating it) has the capability for remote kills.
My 2009 Chevy Impala has it.
I give tge 4chan crowd all of 10 minutes to hack, exploit, and make a clown mockery of this.
Driveby killswitch an entire parkinglot LOL
sounds racist to me, not being able to flee and elude after committing a crime
Hackers will have a field day and so will rapists
There will undoubtedly be hacks for these.
