Kill switches on 2027 cars? Get a good used car while you still can.

My brother's use to just go off while driving
No one could figure out why and that is why you should never have one.

The bay topped out at near 60 kmh in his prime. Direct line of Secretariat
The gray is an Appendix, a thoroughbred/quarterhorse cross and maybe topped at 50 or so kmh

Impressive pedigree. Since I never got to see Big Red race, I have to
settle for watching YouTube clips. All I can say is poetry in motion.

We got him for combined training (eventing) after his racing days
He did have the opportunity to gallop across Lexington’s Horse Park few times to compete in the cross country event.

No problem, I plan to keep my 2015 VW diesel until they take the keys away
from me.

Not a bad idea if they are optional, IMO. I would get one. If someone stole
my car and the cops used a kill switch to stop some lunatic driving 100mph endangering lives, I would be happy. But I get the counter argument - that's why I think letting people choose it, or not, is perfectly fine.

Versus the hackable cars proliferated over past 10-15yrs.

And the 'willingly' handing over all of our data to use features sold to
you to use the car like remote start, which is a joke to have to agree to their data "privacy" terms. I said no and never installed their app.

Vehicles are quickly being turned into "subscription services".
I will not be subscribing.
