I see a future where starlink is used to identify all thr cars on the road and recognize when something doesnt have the tracker active that allows starlink to dectivate the car. And reports the car to authorities.
But then, who will shovel the shit in the sewer? Robots? Who will serve their food? Who will pour the eldritch wines, and who will sate the necrophilic lusts of Mmatmuor and Sodosma? The deep state left the dark isle of Naat long ago, and they relish and delight in the decay of our republic.
No, for those menial and subservient tasks they still need us. I prefer the long slumber of death and the freedom it brings. I won't be a slave.
This is true. Some rental car companies can already do this. If you dont pay the bill, they shutoff the car after a grace period then track it and come tow it.
Onstar and other satellite providers promise roadside assistance but they can shut your car off if that particular model has the device to do so.
Amish are looking more and more like they have the right idea. Grow their own food, avoid vaccines, fully self-sufficient. Not the loonies I thought they were when I was young.
I would reckon most models already have this - they already transmit all data in real time to the manufacturer, who gives it freely upon request to Govt. agencies - all of your speech, heart rate, and especially your sexual habits.
And if not, being inserted after.
My last mechanic service stated "we've also add BLANK" (Forget the name of the device).
I said I never requested it.
"But it's free, and it's cool, check this out....if someone steals my car I shut it down by an app"
Again I tell the wench I didn't ask for it, I don't care it's free, and who gives a sh1t if someone steals my car, that's why I have insurance. But how would you feel stopping that car not knowing where it is in traffic and killing someone?
"But it's free" 🤦🔫
Remember how people managed to remove “low emission zones” cameras in London?
Same can be done with the EV charging stations, their connectors, plugins, etc.
The outcome? They will be forced to use gasoline until they secure new standard of charging stations, resistant to … public resistance, which is the next 5-10 years.
Due to climate change your old car is no longer legal to start. Please leave in neutral and push to your destination or it will be impounded. Have a great day.
Your Driving performance equals your credit score. In their dreams they fantasize on controlling your every movement and ultimately your every thought. They will fail of course but not before it gets a little hairy, imo.
Pretty sure most cars already have one, and can be incinerated remotely as well. They must be trying to ones that don't have OnStar or high end features.
And, what agency/agencies will have control of the kill switch? I could see it being used for stolen cars that won't stop for the police, which would then prevent a dangerous chase situation-outside of that-I'm not sure of the good it would be.
I see a future black market industry that will make millions bypassing that system.
I was just thinking the same. I have plenty of (older) friends and relatives who would love to have fun with this.
Or just start pulling fuses.
Disable the antenna. Sort of a boating accident on dry land.
MegaSquirt can run your engine standalone. Just a matter of delivering 12v to the HVAC and other accessories.
Plot twist: government also mandates device that makes the car explode when tinkered with.
I believe it.

Ha ha. The plan is you will own nothing, drive nowhere and stay in your 15 minute city.
The real plan is you will not exist.

Fuck that..
Die on your Feet / or live on my Knees??
I would rather Die on my Feet Standing up for what we know to be TRUTH. ( & I don’t plan to Die.)
Amen
Yup.
Live free or die
Haltech and MegaSquirt bout to strike it rich!
They’ve been doing for awhile now. When someone hasn’t paid, disable the vehicle and the tow company knows where to repo it

Onstar and other satellite providers promise roadside assistance but they can shut your car off if that particular model has the device to do so.
Adding on here, luxury rental car companies can track your speed and page into the car to advise you to slow down before turning it off.
Yup! Smart to try have an old beater that doesn’t have the electronic aspect.
Let's be honest. The cars will probably drive themselves no need to tow
Guess buying a car before then is advised.
I have enough old vehicles to last my lifetime….so all good here.👍
Me too. Once we spread this information around the 2026 model year will become the worst sales year in history.
I saw a restored 83 Toyota 4x4 today with tasteful custom wheels exc. it was awesome.
Now I know why the Amish like horses.
Amish are looking more and more like they have the right idea. Grow their own food, avoid vaccines, fully self-sufficient. Not the loonies I thought they were when I was young.
Not surprised.
Then government will start shouting about taking your cars just like they shout about forced vaccination and taking your guns.
And we all tell them "Good luck with that"
Get ready for the 'car grabber' movement and propaganda for the next 2 decades.
…and that’s why they don’t make Manuel vehicles anymore. I’m good with mine
Do you mean Manuel from "Fawlty Towers"?
LOL - spell check was set to Spanish

another mandate that can fuck right off
Truckers in Canada take note.
The price of the the old, used, non-electric, no-kill-switch, freedom cars is gonna increase.
they will be pushing to ban gasoline, idk what we can do without that

There's been talk about this since the late '90s. OBDIII was supposed to implement remote surveillance and killswitch.
Wonder who sets criteria for ‘driving performance’...
Your Driving performance equals your credit score. In their dreams they fantasize on controlling your every movement and ultimately your every thought. They will fail of course but not before it gets a little hairy, imo.
"is there gas in the car..is there gas in the car?"
Yes, there's gas in the car ♫
Yes. The EU already has it in place.
I'ma keep driving my 91 carola thanks
based on your driving performance or.. malfunction and crash you based on your political views
Biodiesel engines. Convert your car to run on canola oil.
Pretty sure most cars already have one, and can be incinerated remotely as well. They must be trying to ones that don't have OnStar or high end features.
The federal government underestimates the power of the meth head 🤣
That's what OnStar is for.
And, what agency/agencies will have control of the kill switch? I could see it being used for stolen cars that won't stop for the police, which would then prevent a dangerous chase situation-outside of that-I'm not sure of the good it would be.
Incoming lawsuits for damages cased by "accidental malfunctions" of such a device, leading to 50 car pileups on bridges. You heard it here first.
Jokes on them, its already there and CIA has been using it for decades!
I’m guessing the ayes mean to pass the bill to defund? Or to not pass it?
Chevy has had this for years. It’s called “On Star”.
This is old news. They started that back in 2000.
