Activating the kill switch can also affect other vehicle control systems. For instance, the brakes might still function, but steering could be compromised if the system relies on engine power for assistance. It’s like trying to steer a car with the engine off; it’s much harder and less responsive. This is why it’s crucial to understand how your vehicle’s systems interact when the kill switch is activated.

One of the primary concerns with activating a kill switch is the potential for accidents. If you’re driving at high speeds or in heavy traffic, shutting down the engine suddenly can lead to loss of control. It’s like hitting the brakes too hard on a slippery road; you might skid or lose traction. This highlights the importance of knowing how to handle such situations safely.

Got bad news for folks. If you have OnStar, Sync and whatever the other manufacturers infotainment system are called, you already have a kill switch. If you can remote start, they can remote stop.

If there was a kill switch in new cars, how long would it be before criminal hack it?

So it wasn’t a clean bill (single issue or like issues) but an unrelated amendment to deal with a 2021 bill. Voting against the bill undoes a mountain of compromise and hard work.

I despise misleading nonsense.

While the technology is not yet a legal requirement in cars, Congress passed a law with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021 that requires the Department of Transportation to create the mandate.


The dept should require it for the year 2250

China is economically constrained and the Russian resources are extremely inviting. Once that move is made by them, an alliance with Russia and the west will occur.

Bice and Lucas aren't a surprise, in my opinion. I've been to several Bice town halls as she's my direct Rep, and she's always come across as a smooth talking swamper. I never trusted her but we can't seem to get anyone better to challenge her.

But Cole, that one really surprises me.

I suspect the three of them got some nice perks from local lending institutions.

This kind of thing makes you wonder if they ever even know the things they are voting on

They vote for what their lobbyists tell them to vote for.

you vote for them.

we are a nation full of idiots voting against our own freedoms because they drive you to the polls with fear telling you the other people are the enemies.

Massie, once again, on the losing side. Losing to Democrats is not the bug, it’s the feature, it’s by design.

So you're for putting kill switches in cars because Massie is against it?

Many of them have their aides vote for them so I don’t actually blame them per se.
