🏛️ PANIC IN DC 🏛️
All cars since 1996 or so have a kill switch to prevent the motor from blowing due to a shit ton of different issues ranging from overheating to electrical failure. This happened when they installed OBDII ports in all cars.
In 2018 all cars were integrated with SIMs from the factory that were hard wired into the motherboards and unable to be turned off. Aside from Tesla who monitors all individual car locations, no other major manufacturer keeps dibs on their cars, but they easily could and easily could just send a signal that would trigger the safety feature that kills the car in the chance of overheating.
There have been a few cases of this happening though in the news if you dig them up. There have also been a few cases of Police unlocking cars via signal when they had a warrant. That's not even including the incidents where OnStar or BlueStar has stopped many, many police chases.
Every manufacturer has a telemetrics setup like OnStar. Subaru has Starling, Hyundai has BlueLink, Kia has KConnect, BMW and Mini have ASSIST, Benz has MBRACE, Ford has FordPass, Lincoln has WAY, Toyota and Lexus have Enform, and Volvo uses On Call just to name a few.
So yeah, it's already here and has been for years. This shit is a distraction.
Disagree as a mechanic. My truck(2002) and my Jeep(2001) cannot be shut down remotely. Both will overheat with the only shut down activated is melting the rods to the crank. Ask me how I know...because I did it in the Jeep. And the diesel has the computer power of a calculator.
Lol....ACTIVATE SHUTDOWN!! engine melts
My 6L F350 did that after it dumped all the coolant and started a metal fire. The CeraTec helped but the engine was still blown
reread what I wrote
I did. I still disagree. I wish there were some way to remotely kill a vehicle thats over 15 years old. I've had 7 vehicles stolen, 5 of which were customer vehicles. Unfortunately, only higher end brands such as Cadillac, Lincoln, MB, etc, had that capability that long ago. 2017 saw many lower end vehicle with this technology. More likely than not, the system has a breakdown that causes the engine to shut down, ie coil failure, electric fuel pump failure, etc. But to remotely shut it down was impossible for the majority of vehicles produced prior to 2017.
