It should really work off of an account (similar to how Apple ID works), where the owner can remotely shutdown a car. I'm surprised it doesn't work like this.

- the_ancient 12y agoand the government can call up Apple and have them do anything..... So no is should not work like an Apple ID...... I do not want the government to even have the ability to access it is even with a court order. I do not want it to even be technically possible....

- keehun 12y agoI think at some point, this will be impractical and you will have to either commit digital suicide, or accept it. This is really sad, but I see it as inevitable. Governments will always have the power to pull this stuff off without our consent. If they can't get these things their way, then they will (or maybe already have) localized EMP charges that can disable targets. With the police force that is becoming increasingly militarized, I can see a car chase ending differently in the future. I don't support it, and yes we should do something about it. But what? Do the people really need to wait until it's at the brink?
- manicdee 12y agoReplace "localised EMP" with "HERF" and you're spot on.
- keehun 12y agoTook me a while to figure out what HERF stood for, but eventually lead to this article on Wikipedia[0] Yeah. 50s, 60s, and the 70s sounds like an amazing time.[1] [0]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon#Microwave_weapons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon#Microwav...
