OJ Simpson, the man that the police forced to stop fleeing under threat of deadly violence?
Are you trying to scare people that their car may be disabled, when those same people already live in a society where police shoot and kill and pit maneuver drivers?
Wouldn't you rather have the car stop safely, instead of being pit maneuvered and flipped into a ditch?

No. I'm just pointing out that, just as pervasive corporate surveillance is now the norm on the internet, pervasive tracking and always-on kill switches for cars will soon become the new norm. Law enforcement will paint it exactly as you have done here, with all the pearl-clutching and "think of the children"-type arguments that always accompany a new overstep/affront against civil liberties.

Police followed OJ for 50 miles and ultimately let him drive safely to his house. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._J._Simpson_murder_case#Bronco_chase https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._J._Simpson_murder_case#Br...
