Next big thing is gonna be the upcoming global push to ban people driving older cars without internet connectivity that can't be shut down remotely "for your protection."

It is another way of limiting freedom of assembly, freedom of association, and a new power to add to the social credit system, formal or informal.

Remember: first thing that happens to "undesirables" in China is they are banned from travelling when their social credit drops too low.

Already spreading to the UK (ULEZ) and I want to be clear, although almost all EVs are IoT, so are most new ICE vehicles. Internal combustion doesn't guarantee safety from this. The popular OnStar system in the US can remotely stop your car already for instance. You must ensure zero remote connectivity.
