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.

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

That car's design btw is derivative (people tend to think this word is an insult; I don't mean it that way at all) of Auto Union design history.
I'll never own a plug in car myself.
Not for me.
Apparently they have unreal torque and speed though.
The fastest car I've driven:
Mercedes SL (R129), 8 cyl, 0- 60 mph @ 4.8 sec.
It was like a hammer. You could spend up behind any vehicle at will and that vehicle would discreetly get out of your way.
This would be the modern equivalent of putting a saddle on a slug.
