In an interesting development, it has been mandated by the federal government that all vehicles sold after 2026 must have a kill switch. This kill switch will allow vehicles to be disabled based on the driver's performance. This decision raises concerns about personal privacy and the control that could be exerted over individuals' vehicles. It also highlights the potential value of gas-powered vehicles in the future as more and more cars become electric and subject to this new regulation. Car enthusiasts and collectors may find gas-powered cars, especially those with manual transmission, to be highly sought after due to their scarcity and unique driving experiences. This new mandate also brings up larger concerns about the future of electric cars and their impact on the power grid, as well as the environmental implications of the massive number of batteries that will be used in these vehicles. The push for electric cars may not be as straightforward or seamless as once thought, and the demand for traditional gas-powered vehicles may increase as a result.
