govt. set to control your cars by 2020

I guess we all new it was coming, one more level of tyrannical control under a smart vehicle grid where all you do is sit in your .5L engine car and sit there until you arrive. So the next step is giving government agents the power to stop your vehicle on a whim. Like all technology it 'could' be used for good things, like stopping car thieves (who will figure out a way to circumvent this anyway). But most likely it is simply another form of total control and domination over your whole existence.

"GM has steadily improved its Onstar telematics system since its original introduction way back in 1996. In its most recent iterations, OnStar can be called upon to disable/stop a stolen vehicle at the request of the owner or police.

Documents have now turned up that show police in Europe have plans for a similar, but universal system that would allow them to remotely stop cars. The system would allow cars involved in high-speed chases to be stopped remotely without resorting to tire spikes or other destructive methods.

The European Network of Law Enforcement Technology Services is researching the system, which could be rolled out by 2020.

Other facets of the program include the development of better tech for automatic license plate recognition and better ways to share intelligence between agencies.

The plans for the remote stopping system has been approved by the EU Standing Committee on Operational Cooperation on Internal Security. "

In the comments section the threat of the system being hacked has been raised which is also a good point.
