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.

Is this a term already in use? It seriously wouldn't surprise me. They'll have to give them a label to run the scaremongering campaigns.

No, but I would think it would be very easy to slip in legislation that would require all vehicles to be GPS enabled through vehicle registration and/or emissions testing.

One of the London mayoral candidates proposed a per-mile carbon credit system for driving in the city centre.

Not some whacky Green Party guy either.

I happen to know from the industry that tech companies are already developing individual carbon trackers. They wouldn't do that if there were no customers.

So, sadly, I can see this happening.

The most powerful thing we can do is educate as many people as possible and focus on the risks of CBDCs and why they should be rejected.

Rejection of a CBDC will make implementing and actually enforcing further totalitarian social credit type legislation a lot more difficult.
