New Law Mandates 'Kill Switches' in ALL Cars from 2026 Onwards!

[Tex Koder]

This is for your own safety?
Because government knows what's good for you.

In case you drink & drive..
or
consume some mushrooms then decide to go Fast-Furious...

I see several problems with this. Mainly Constitutional ones. Along with safety issues for the Motorist. When this is US DOT mandated on every 2026 car, there will be issues for sure. I am sure Cali. was a main proponent for this law.
I seen this before. Kind of old news.
I am sure there will be a hack created to get around this.

Idiots!!

I wish I had a remote that would work on those crazies out there. I'd prefer a build on tazer though that a takes 10 people to activate to prevent the random jolt. Maybe should patent that idea...

Well, this means in another 20 years, I might have a car with a kill switch..
That's if I'm even still alive and able..

 

[SrC]

Like wise.

 

[TRAT]

I’ll stick with my led sleds. Can’t mess with those I’ll do what I want.

 

[LibertyMKiii]

I could see hackers shutting off cars while being used.
This could be very dangerous.

Sounds great, IF they are mechanical, otherwise, they can suck my trailer hitch

 

[KnowAir]

Like wise.

It'll be close for me.. between low income, I can't afford anything newer than 10 years old now, and rate of inflation.. it'll easily be 20 years before I'm eligible for a 2026 model car.

Lol, stupid law but cars are already killing privacy. Cars are collecting data as much as any other device but data security is nonexistent.

Man.. who remembers the craziness of Y2K? Here we are..heading into 2024, WTF!?

Yep, since like 2013 cars have been able to log gps data I believe?

Sounds aboot right..first take their guns..eh?

 

[DLK83]

What author

George Orwell... we are literally living out the story line of that book as we speak, if you haven't read it, you should.. and what do you guys think "ON-STAR" and the like was put into place for, your safety?!? any vehicle equipped with it, with an active subscription or not, is trackable

 

[J.Rambo]

Guys, we do mods in this hobby. Removing a kill switch should be easier than adding a center diff to a Granite.

This is blatant misinformation your brain likes because it fits a narrative. Repeat after me, "Youtube is not a news outlet or reliable source of legal and political information.".

Read the actual bill. You will find nothing referencing a kill switch or external access to any data.
