I can't wait until some junior dev pushes a change to the system and shuts down
all
2026+ vehicles, sorta like a nationwide "carmageddon" (

Even if the devs don't accidentally flip the switch themselves, they'll screw up the implementation so some enterprising hacker will be able to do it.

Really wonder how long it will take before you can't renew your vehicle registration unless your older vehicle has been "upgraded" to include such a kill switch?
