What? No government confiscated people's EV-1s. This was an experimental car, and General Motors did not sell them. They leased them out and did not give the leasees the option to buy them after the lease expired. You can question the wisdom of the whole program, but it was always GM's prerogative to do what they wanted after the leases expired.
So your theory is that the federal government will forbid the sale of new belts and hoses for cars manufactured before current safety equipment was mandated? You do realize that you can still buy belts, hoses, tires, etc. for cars too old to have airbags and antilock brakes, right?
(B) Passive Behavioral Monitoring
It must do so only when such a standard can meet the Safety Act’s requirements for accuracy, reasonableness, and safety. There is no hard timeline. The NHSTA just has to advise on their progress and when they think they will have something that actually works.
I never do, which is why I'm even more opposed to more Big Brother nanny bullshit added to cars. Why should I have to suffer invasive equipment that makes me pay more for cars because states will just give a driver's license to any pinhead that steps through the doors of the BMV who doesn't even notice they can't see and assess why when they cruise around at 11pm with no lights on. Try to out-engineer idiots and God will just make a new and improved idiot. It's long past due people are told to pound sand and buy comfy shoes if they won't be responsible and least learn basic functions of the heavy equipment they want to operate in public.
A lot of people are starting to avoid newer tech due to complexity and / or ongoing and increasing privacy concerns. I would straight up refuse to buy a car with those types of systems in them unless I could figure out how to disable it all. Under the assumption a mandated kill switch was actually a thing, I could see a scenario where people would want older cars and hoard parts to keep them running. I already disable telemetric units and other systems in my vehicles.
Then stick to old cars, nobody is forcing you to buy a new one and moan about it.
Of course some of us live in different countries...
As if this sentiment wont spread.
We have completely different and stronger privacy laws, much to the disgust of some Americans!
Brother, you really think you're immune from stuff like this just because you're in a different part of the world? Come on now.
Don't talk to me
