So would criminals, at least those professional enough to plan ahead. So I expect pre-kill switch vehicles to be used exclusively by such criminals.
- mdp2021 5y ago> I expect pre-kill switch vehicles to be used Expect them to be used by people who consider a kill-switch on their car unacceptable, on the basis of the valid reasons you will be able to find scattered in this page. Also: the logic! : "C prefer W, so only C will..." : what was that?!
- ovi256 5y agoI never wanted to imply only criminals would use such cars. Of course there are valid reasons to prefer them. I think I'd prefer them myself. I was thinking about the increased demand on used pre-kill switch cars.
- borski 5y agoIf crossing the street when the walk signal isn’t showing but there are no cars for miles makes me a criminal, so be it. I expect anyone who rationally believes that this opens up a whole slew of dangers on the road, from security concerns to self-incrimination to, quite simply, bugs would be the ones to use pre-kill switch vehicles.
- ovi256 5y agoI would like to clarify my comment: The obvious vulnerability of a remote kill switch would also push criminals, at least those professional enough to plan ahead, to use them. Not implying that only criminals would use them. There are many valid reasons to prefer them.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoStop assuming everyone is a criminal. Don't give government this level of control over your life or you become China with a Social Credit Score. We already have a financial credit score and we know how much that is already abused. Screw Big Brother.
