I was right

The data connection in 2015 and older GM (OnStar) vehicles is 2G and it is going away this fall as they sunset all the 2G networks. I think they'll lose access to those vehicles. I just got a notice about it today. You can connect again if you download a new mobile app so they can use your phone's network.

There's a sucker born every minute.

If you own a car made in the last 10 years it can be disabled remotely.

You sure about that? There was talk about kill switch legislation for new cars made in 2026.

I'm sure about that. In most models it's already there.

I can start my 2017 Chevy with a iPhone app. Chevy can disable it if I report it stolen

If you activated OnStar, yeah. I didn't in my car. I'm sure there are some newer models where it's possible, but not all new cars have that feature. Definitely not everything of the past 10 years.

No onstar. Also, do really think the government need you to activate onstar to disable your car?

You seem naive

To locate a car? no.

To actually disable that's a whole different thing because not all cars in the past 10 years have connected tech. If they did cops would be using the tech now to avoid car chases, etc.

Most cops are not allowed to chase anyone anymore. Insanity.

True, but if they had tech to allow them to remotely disable vehicles on a large scale they would be using it. I have no doubt that's coming in the future.

That and an active GPS system in your car so they know where you are at anytime. They were already pinging cell phone data to locate citizens at the capitol on January 6 without a warrant. Just don't call that authoritarian.

Can’t be true. I saw 2000 Mules was debunked.

Seems like a constitutional right to move about. Disabling cars for climate bullshit would seem to violate that but hey I'm no supreme court justice.

I think has been used a time or two but I'm out of the game these days and when I was working if I wanted to shit to their car I need a warrant.

Just declare an emergency. Constitution then takes a back seat.
