New “connected vehicle” technology enables cars to automatically debit bank accounts for tolls, marking a significant shift from systems like E-ZPass. This “Vehicle to Vehicle” (V2V) communication, part of the “Internet of Things,” allows cars to receive and transmit data, enabling external control over acceleration, braking, and steering. While presented as a convenience, critics warn this system facilitates “geofencing” and granular control over individual movements, potentially enabling automatic deductions for mileage taxes, traffic fines, and adjusted insurance rates. The author argues this technology represents a “kill switch” integrated into vehicles, giving unprecedented power to external entities to control and penalize drivers, urging a rejection of such “thinking machines.”
