Over the last century, the Land of the Free has slowly transformed into a land governed by endless laws, largely by cracking down on vices instead of actual crimes, creating a society that would render us all criminals if our behavior were constantly observed. Meanwhile, the state has steadily expanded its use of mass surveillance, largely under the pretext of fighting “terror.”
This is a toxic mixture.
… I’m not seeing a kill switch in the bill? It says “limit vehicle operation”.
The technology already exists to limit vehicle speed. This is probably what would happen, the car would limit you to 65 MPH.
I could see the vehicle not starting, but there’s no way vehicles will shut down while driving, that’s obviously dangerous.
I’m assuming more like limp home mode than 65, or completely disabling the car.
No they won’t shut off the vehicle, obviously. The ECU will limit engine power gradually over several minutes.
