That becomes extremely easy with the drive by wire that almost all cars are moving to. yeah I completely understand that, I was under the impression that Onstar could already shut down a car when stolen… and I’m sure someone on the design commitee has already said “but what if this technology falls into the wrong hands” ---

Cell phones weren’t made to be able to track your location but they can. They also weren’t made for the fbi to be able to activate them to listen to your non telephone conversations so long as the phone is in the same room but they can. Just because GM says it’s for consent of the owner in getting their vehicle back doesn’t negate how it could be used. If our vehicles can be disabled remotely it isn’t a good thing. ---

Remember the silly GM cars in 74 that had seat belts that had to be buckled to start? Reminds me of that. People start shopping for cars elsewhere, GM discontinues bad idea. ---

Bottom line out of all this is if you don’t break a shit-ton of laws, and become a target for the FBI to track your every move, or for them to decide we need to find this guy lets track his car and stop him, then what do you have to worry about? ---

It makes sense. It’s like saying it’s bullshit that cops can pull you over for speeding by using radar, because they are trying to take control of your lives by limiting the speed at which you can run your errands. ---
