[QUOTE="4601S/C, post: 13879590, member: 137801"] TLDR version- A secret group in Europe is pushing forward with a plan to to have a remote kill switch installed on all ?new? cars sold within their union by 2020. The devices would also have a GPS feature for police to track them with. Supposedly these tools would only be made available only to law enforcement. Needless to say when some people are not happy with this news. [URL="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/10605328/EU-has-secret-plan-for-police-to-remote-stop-cars.html"]Link[/URL] to original article. How do you all feel about this? I think it's crap, and a danger public privacy. Maybe you shouldn't be running from, or breaking the law in the first place. Whose to say that this power would only remain the hands of honest government officials? Whose to say that you can can't be hacked and used is some malicious way (People can already hack some new cars btw: [URL="http://arstechnica.com/security/2010/08/cars-hacked-through-wireless-tyre-sensors/"]Link[/URL]). It's very hard to put a price on human life, maybe impossible, but how far does safety need to reach? Do you think will give our government any [secret] ideas? [/QUOTE]
