Already here man. Cellular and wifi connectivity. Multiple vehicle and person position sensors. Crash sensors.
Already here.
Heck, iirc, my Jeep GC had a video done where hackers remotely took control and applied the brakes.

Can you tell me if it's...already here?

 

old cars without electronics plz thx... don't want bigbrother control... tried one of those "modern ones" that has lane assist and it turns the wheel for you... guess what it could do when you drive in the mountains if you **** off the wrong people... yeah right a short fall from a high cliff...

 

Sounds like another good reason not to drive new cars. I won't have to worry about remote hacking in any of my pre-1970 cars, that's for sure. 😁

 

I was just thinking that. My 1969 IH Scouts are sounding more like an investment instead of an expensive hobby.

 

My 22 year old truck is my answer.

 

actually you can buy tuners to turn most of that stuff off. Usually for a couple hundred bucks. Might have to turn it back on for your inspection

 

They had poorly made before kill switches. Now its self lighting feature that they can't turn off.

 

'84 Rabbit diesel. Only thing elec in it is starter, alt and lights. No radio. No heat. 0-60 in 5 miles. Will smoke everything behind it 🤣

LOL!! Yeah, I remember those. There aren't too many of them around anymore. No radio wasn't really an issue, you probably couldn't hear it anyway. LOL!! A friend of mine had a Ford Ranger with a diesel in it, same thing, no radio, I couldn't have heard it. Heck, we could barely even yell loud enough to have a conversation. Maybe a really good fit for old farts that can't hear anymore. LOL!!

 

It won't take long until most of us will "know a guy" who can bypass the Biden module for a reasonable fee.

 

Kind of like the “Hillary Hole” in the modern S&W revolvers. It’s just plain ugly!! Thankfully, the hole can be plugged and disabled.

 

There are many companies making performance tuners for vehicles. Quite easy to disable that function.

 

My 2018 Ram Diesel has after market tuner. It improved performance and millage. They use to also have a version that would Delete the need foe Def. Government stepped in fined all the companies thousands of dollars and now they no longer can provide that. My Tune isn't allowed on Trucks in Ca. How soon before other states like NY where I live decides to go the same way

 

We had a similar discussion on the EV winter travel topic. Specifically about “them” being able to shut down EVs. I’m sure the guberment has nothing other than our safety in mind with proposals like this. Testing 1, 2, 3 for anybody listening to our conversations.

 

That's why they push to take old cars off the road . They were immune to all this electronic control.

 

They need to make a switch that turns off your engine whenever you’re driving and playing with your cell phone.

 

You can't do that. All of the cars on the road would be dead in the middle of the street.

What they aren't telling you is they also have the technology installed to disable your brakes and airbags while maxing out your accelerator. Just in case the administration deems you a problem.

 

Electric steering is pretty common now too

 

I contacted NHTS yrs ago about all these new "safety" features current vehicles have. Auto braking, cross traffic sensors, blah blah blah.
I asked them whats going to happen when new drivers, that grow up with this tech, gets in a car either without it, or the tech malfunctions when the driver has become dependent upon it? Accidents are going to happen. They thanked me for my concerns, end of story.

😬Heck, my co-worker who is 51 cannot backup without the backup camera. But he can't drive forwards neither.....

Just venting.

I'll bet 90% of Millennials and Generation Z couldn't drive a vehicle with a manual gearshift and clutch today.

My 20 yo nephew was completely flabbergasted by the 3-speed on the column shifter and foot clutch on my old '73 Ford F100.

 

I hated column gear shifts. I liked them on the floor.

Not sure how long ago I was reading it,but those corner used car lots..buy here,pay here..we finance anyone..would install them.couldn't stop it while running..but could prevent it from restarting.
I only remember because the story was about the buyer keeping it running for a few weeks,just letting it idle in the driveway and at work.

 

Biden Infrastructure Bill Mandates Vehicle Kill Switches By 2026 (musclecarsandtrucks.com)

For those that have no interest in reading the above, if link works, the story states that the infrastructure bill and another put forth in '21 by 2 D's and 2 R's, would require all new vehicles built to have a monitoring system in them to cut down on dui's. Exactly how is not addressed by the article nor the bills.

So I have a few questions just to throw out for throwing sake...
1) if vehicle is monitoring the input of the driver for dui tendencies, and you swerve to miss another vehicle, kid on a bicycle, or a moose, is vehicle monitoring system going to think you are dui and shut you down?
2) if you're hitting the go-pedal a little harder than normal, is system going to think you are dui and shut you down?
3) if said system decides you are dui, and shuts your down and you're in traffic at 70mph, then what? Sounds like an accident waiting to happen
4) you don't tow the .gov line, system shut down via button?

Heck. I'd have one hell of a career ahead of me if I could open a business removing kill switches.

 

Don't really need it. Your phone is doing all of this work now in real time, all they have to do is get google/verizon to give it to them.

EDIT: Just remembered this little beauty. You can bet all of this is better now and going straight to the gubmint live.

EDIT EDIT: The real reason for doing any of this to an automobile is to restrict your mobility (Duh) There are an infinite number of reasons the gubmint could want to do this, the main one being they do not like you.

 

Stuff like this makes me even more glad I purchased a very nice 2002 M1123 HMMWV

 

I'll show them; I will not like them back...

 

That's what i say every time H&K releases a new gun for a bajillion dollars.

 

I am going to go back to a horse and buggy.

 

If I remember my history correctly, in the early 2000's we tried to sell vehicle tracking to GM. Had the engine shutoff, panic buttons, GPS tracking, etc. They turned us down, said they were developing their own, with even more features. I'd be willing to bet that OnStar has it built in already. One more reason to not connect blue tooth to your vehicles.

 

This fits in nicely with the failure to pass legislation regarding "right to repair." Auto makers want to get rid of 2nd party vendors for cars parts and certainly for software. This will make owners have to go to the "stealerships" to get things fixed. It is all a part of UN Agenda 21/2030. Everything happening has this at the core.

 

Onstar can do this already. They can brick you while on the highway if they choose to.

 

I have a kill switch option as part of the anti theft stuff. GPS trackers, the works. It saves me a lot of money on insurance. As does the radar, cameras, and collision avoidance system.

The difference is I have these things by choice and have total control over their usage.

And it's a semi worth 160k.

correction.. you THINK you have total control, but you don't... THEY do
