I dont know what to do. The deep state is stacking the deck against the few seemingly decent politicians we have. Feel like we need a movement to primary near all the incumbents from both parties with someone that has a sliver of hope of not being a puppet. Deep state probably owns most of the challengers in primaries too.

I just googled. Ohio has closed primaries, and I'm nonpartisan. I hope Ohioans in the 10th like their privacy. Fingers crossed.
I will be sending an email to Turner's office to express my dissatisfaction for his support of the kill switch. Totally un-American. I would have thought such BS violates the 4th amendment and case law regarding reasonable expectation of privacy.

I'm pretty sure certain folks can already track and shut down any recently made auto? I'm curious if this is just to make sure that doesn't change or allow easier access to such controls.

You'd need an internet connection, so the car would need some kind of cellular signal. No idea if cars have this, but I truly hope not. Every time I've taken a car in to get checked, they plugged in a computer.

I was of the impression the "on star" or sirius satellite signals could be used to do the same. Wouldn't expect that the technicians at the shop would have access to such things but someone does. Kind of like how the CIA could pull whatever they want off our phones without physically having them.
Like how new toyota tundras dont have remote start on keyfobs, you have to download the app to do it from there (and sign off on them using even more of your data in the process). When I bought my last f150 they pitched all these cool things i'd get if I used the myFord app. LIke theyd give me discounts on oil changes and stuff. I asked them what Ford gets out of me using the App cuz if im financially incentivized to use it, they're getting something out of the deal that they aren't being up front about.

Can’t remember where I saw this but I remember hearing about some journalist who died in a mysterious single car wreck where his new Mercedes sped up to 120 mph before hitting a wall. The prevailing theory was someone was able to hack the car and override the controls. Who knows. Good news for me, you can’t even control my radio from the steering wheel

I drove a ford explorer for a work truck. I did not enjoy the day that I realized the steering wheel was not connected to a shaft that went down through the floor board.
Steers by electric motor. That was quite awhile ago. One of those things you wish you didn’t know.

And this talk has officially cured me of wanting a Tesla too.

OnStar was a cell phone built into the car.
Maybe they all have them now. I don't know. I assume they all have a GPS, so there's some kind of communication at least with satellites. I guess any car that offers wifi hotspot service would have to have a cell phone built in.

Minnesota winter pretty much helped me make that decision. Electric might work fine in warmer climates but there isn't much you can count on to run here in the winter time.
Worked for Ford for 15 yrs. The Ford pass app does deliver alot of info back to FMC for sure. Obviously some data for some for marketing back to you, and some data to be used to "make their vehicles better". Ford dealers can access newer Ford models remotely, due to a "telemetry" module that's in the vehicle network. With this hook up... your check engine light comes on, you can call the dealer. The dealer can remote into your car via his laptop with FMC software, and tell you what the code is. So yes, they can communicate with your vehicle, as long as it has a charged up battery. GM is the same.
I don't know federal guidelines well, but anything having to do with the computer controlled throttle (fly by wire, or TAC) being modified/accessed/controlled is highly regulated and engineered, to avoid situations like someone mentioning above about the throttle control being hacked. And, all manufacturers also build redundancies into the TAC circuits, to avoid any reason for the throttle to accelerate on its own. I've been in lawsuits/depositions, and worked with the NHTSC concerning sudden acceleration events. After all that, when I hear of sudden accell events, I'm already pretty damn sure the cause was not the computer controlled throttle.
Oh yeah, if your car has any type of "lane-keeping" feature, auto-parking or trailer backing feature, you have electric steering. No direct connection between the column and the front suspension. All done with electric motors, and that's how they can control the steering. It's all on a network, and there's multiple networks on each vehicle.

I have huge breaking news too…
Nothing will happen.
Never does. I think she should spend 50 years in prison and then after her term if she’s still alive deport her
