    Kill switches triggered on road at speed without consent, warning, or an option in the moment for the driver.

    It's already happening in the US and UK.

    I don't care what any US federal government document says/ contains.

    These are anecdotal accounts but if you see something, and then see it a few more times, and it doesn't stop happening, you can logically infer with inductive reading that it will happen again.

    This is madness.

    You buy the vehicle. You are not in control of the vehicle when you are driving it. A car stalling in traffic, let alone being switched off remotely, is a recipe for death.

    I'll have no part in it.

    Well, unless, I get involved in an accident because of it, and die or am seriously injured.

    This is disgusting in so many ways.

      The '90's were the best IMHO!

      I owned a few of these cars (actually literally three) and drove too many to count when I worked as a driver and courier deliverer for my uncle's upstate NY based Tri-State diving service when I was in my early '20's.

      Driving was my favorite. Better than tennis. Better than gymnastics. Better than anything similar.

        We have a 2022 used Subaru Outback, and that braking feature has engaged a couple of times when in reverse and it was hard to gauge by sight how close we were to hitting something. So I was glad for that. But it never just engaged at driving speeds.

          My autobraking feature gets kicked off by my bike on the rack every time I back up if I forget to turn it off. It’s a little annoying because it’s three levels deep in the menu system to disable it and it automatically reenables itself every time I start the car.

                We won't be owning our cars. We'll basically be renting them with subscriptions. We won't have complete autonomy over the decisions we make when driving our own cars either.

                Believe me now or believe me later.

                  A deeper dive into the Type 01. It's a departure but still has recognizable Jag lines. 1016 HP.
