- mardifoufs 4y agoI agree that they aren't outright remote kill switches. But a tamper-proof on/off switch, that will presumably be almost impossible to trivially bypass, coupled with remote updates... It's getting close. Especially since those systems will need to be easy to update OTA. And even if there are no malicious OTA capabilities (though the EU has already shown interest in LEO being able to remotely disable a car a few years ago) , they are using pretty subjective measures that might affect your driving experience or render your car unusable after a single update. What if the drowsiness detection does not work well on your skin color or on your heartbeat, or on your eye shape? I guess It's just a bit creepy to me that your own car can police you autonomously with little recourse.
