Kill Switch added to new cars?

Don’t forget the part about having a new type of speed governor installed( starts at 2:13), that won’t let you go past 10mph over the limit, and would need to engage a button if you had to dodge something or any other type of emergency scenario. Probably more about “climate saving” and control your driving and you from driving. “I’m sorry Dave, you cannot travel anywhere today because you have surpassed your allowed carbon footprint for this week. Why don’t you walk, bike, or utilize public transportation instead.”

Speed limiters… no thanks.

That said, last time I drove to Atlanta I was doing 80+ in the slow lane to keep from getting run over! It would be a more relaxing drive if folks slowed down just a bit.

That’s been possible since onstar.

There is a huge difference. OnStar is a private corporation. It is not easy to get the location info from them when you need it. It has helped getting stolen vehicle back. The biggest factor is the owner a subscriber to the system. If they aren’t it is impossible for them. No big brother, f that crap. It might make it worth it to buy a new vehicle before all this crap kicks in.

This was part of one of those Green Jobs bullshit laws that Piglosi and Schumbag passed for Biden to sign as part of the war on quality-of-life. Old news, lots of us who were switched on tried to raise alarms at the time, but the sheeple just kept bleating and chewing their little patches of grass.

And I best most cars rolled out in the last 10 years already have it. They are talking about a version that is expanded to monitor your activity.

If you’re driving well enough that the system doesn’t detect a problem, it that a defense for driving while over the BAC limit?

How much you wanna bet the answer to that is a resounding NO!?

I like the old classics even more.

So an interesting question about these newly mandated systems, if you refuse to sign the terms of acceptance when you go to buy a vehicle so equipped, does that mean they can’t sell it to you!

I imagine it's like those "energy efficient" washing machines that work so well. It will be the only thing available and it won't work without them.

Glad I have my prebans.
