Massie responded:A friend of ours noticed his Apple iPhone tracked him wherever he went, including to the gun shop and the shooting range. So he keeps it in a Faraday cage. What's to say the kill switch technology couldn't do something similar?

So how does a car know someone is drunk without an installed and used breathilizer? This is one lying bastard.
And imagine being on a freeway going 80, and your car suddenly stops in the middle of 6 lanes like in LA or Houston. Real safe there I tell ya. :thud:

That is why I use a cheap pre-paid flip phone that I only use on long trips for emergencies.
