It's not just GPS, however. There is, for example, automatic lane assist - which eliminates the possibility to cross the white line, which DOES have to happen in some instances, say when slowly driving around a road-works section.

What about the kill switch, which is already in play with the pre-trip breathalyzer-test which is legislatively imposed on serial drunks. We had a co-worker who would ask for a lift on Monday mornings as early as 2018, because his car would not start. Of course he would reek of alcohol during the trip - for sure the employer lost money on this guy, who would do seriously mediocre work. In any case, those kill-switches could be expanded to 'save the climate'.

In fact, anything that feeds into a car-computer is suspect. We recently replaced all four airshocks with ole-fashioned springs, because the fancy airshocks were pinging the computer - and that would fail the warrant-of-fitness. Now, the car handles better. Bonus.

Ideally, one hides from this narcissistic governance abuse by investing in a 40-yr old car. Because they are classed as 'vintage' and therefore exempt from the rules. But, the cars from the nineties and noughties are arguably allright, since their computers are pretty crude.
