EU remote stopping of cars...
Discussion
Had to check it wasn't April 1st already but I guess what we think is a joke is normal in EU-stan:

WTF?!

And to think most people scorn those as conspiracy theorists when they tell us what is coming. It's no joke now!
This is why I am trying my best to keep older cars, I think the newer the car the more electronics the more they have these things built in "by coincidence" they can then use them to control peoples actions. I'm sure within ten years they'll be able to actually control the speed of your car if it goes over a limit.

Isn't The Telegraph one of those publications that used to be a serious paper?
What utter sensationalistic clap-trap.
Developing technology!!! What is there to develop?
Do we care?
What next? The EU has secret plans to conquer the world and exterminate all Jews, Scousers and ayone who doesn't read The Sun. The plan will start with by invading Poland.
Oh st - they've already done that so it must have started already!!!

Unfortunately despite the Europhile arse licking post above this is in fact true.

and if you read it you will see it's the tip of the iceberg in the new and creative ways the EU want to fk us.

It seems obvious that 'if' they ever do manage to take their ( very real ) control freak ideas to their logical conclusion that they'd also introduce laws which ban the use of 'non compliant' cars or modifications which by pass all the relevant electronic trickery.This is why I am trying my best to keep older cars, I think the newer the car the more electronics the more they have these things built in "by coincidence" they can then use them to control peoples actions.

Do Crims worry about that??Simple signal blocker and that EVO24 is GONE!
So the police are following suspect vehicle with Reg XY62ABC and decide it should be stopped immediately.
Meanwhile, the owner of car reg XY62ABC - who unbeknownst to him had his plate cloned recently - is 50 miles away and has just pulled out to overtake a lorry on a single lane NSL road as the system operator flicks the switch.....

An interesting comparison could be with the OnStar suite of services. It's voluntary and paid by subscription.

The vehicle slow-down feature is initiated by the car's owner - not by government authorities - after filing a crime report with the police:

I am thinking that if Scotland does gain independence being out of the EU is a major selling point!
Amazes me they see Westminster as the enemy when all the crappy laws being passed are EU laws. That muppet from the EU on TV trying to make out that not getting EU membership might sway voters against independence has surely got to be the biggest shot in the arm to the campaign.

Not sure this a big brother issue.Modern engine management systems could ectopically switch off the car as is, so this is no different. I don't see why this would be an issue. In my old B12 I had the accelerator stick on the A1, just managed not to run into the car in front, having the power go( as occurred in my old TT) as the engine management light came on was just as scary (I was doing near to 70 mph at the time) but again there was enough time to pull on to the hard shoulder. High speed chases cost lives. If this means that there are no more high speed pursuits then I support it, if the police get it wrong and switch my engine off because my plates have been cloned then I am willing to take the risk.

There is probably an easier way http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25197786
But tracking of every car its every movement could be seen as desirable for some, for example if there was a fuel shortage only allowing cars to make journeys every other day or stopping wholesale movement of cars during a crisis.....

I struggle to see anything worse. - I would never consent to a system such as the one under discussion being fitted to my car.I know you can have remote immobilisation for CAT5 trackers on vehicles, but the secure operating centres require police permisison, and it only activates the next time the vehicle is driven. Thatcham don't allow remote stopping of a vehicle in motion and rightly so! But this EU business is going to only apply to cars made after 2015 I believe, because the OBDII port is going to have an additional antenna on it so it can communicate with the Airwave system..
