That is some really scary ass ****! If I ever buy a car with this stuff, i'd
figure out a way to disable it, either cutting off the antenna or pulling
power from a key module or whatever. Then they will create cars that wont go
into drive unless they can lock onto a network and authenticate themselves.
Just as how microsoft is working with hardware manufacturors so you can only
run code approved by microsoft on your own computer. Basically, big
companies are taking over and making consumers their slaves. No independence
or freedom as that may hurt their profit margins and make some billionione
slightly less of a billionaire. This is just another reason to start
stocking up on tinfoil.



They've been at it for at least ten years already. Not 'network' capable
as far as I know, but they DO monitor you. Unfortunately, they forgot to
mention it to the buying public, who may have NOT bought these models.
