I co-worker sent me this and quite frankly I think it's a urban legion but also sounds crazy enough to be true.  There are a few members each that work in the automotive industry that should be able to verify or debunk this.
 
They are saying it's illegal to access your vehicles computer systems.  No tweaking of operating parameters.  All the aftermarket chips and tuning stuff is illegal too. 
 
Heck JOHN DEERE is saying they don't sell farm equipment, they granted lifetime user permits but the equipment is still theirs. Loco

From what I understand we are not there yet. But John Deere and GM are working hard to get there.

Now that most new cars are connected to the manufacturer through satellite links like "onstar", they will be able to tell everything you do to that car.  How fast you drive, when you drive, where you go, when you service it, etc.  All these neat techs will lead to the government getting more control over us.

You don't pay your taxes on time or some other bill.  They remotely shut down your car.  You spout off about a political leader you don't like on an online forum, they remotely shut down your car.  Its coming I have no doubt

You got a smartphone? Hand to me and in two shakes I can tell you where you've been for the week maybe the last month more than likely. Settings:privacy:location Services:System Services:Frequent Locations.

Hmmmmm  that makes me wonder.....

 
Funny that GM settled on calling their system 'on star'  guess 'Brown Star' was a little too close to the truth....

GM bit the dust back in 1973.....
