I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I will have to disable your brakes...

Now we have to worry about spam or worse in our cars...

Kind of spooky...tho I'm sure cops would love being able to do this selectively...shut down a car.

Get this big brother scheme...there are those in Oregon who wish to install blow tubes in EVERY vehicle in the state. To start a car, blow into a tube...if alcohol detected, car won't start.

I'd say fine for those convicted of DUI...but ALL cars????

I thought someone had remotely shut down my 71 VW bus last week. It turned out to be the points though.
