It’s been awhile hasn’t it? I’ve been taking a break for a bit. I needed to do some soul searching on what we are all doing here on this earth and in this profession. I refuse to think it’s just about the job. To some maybe it is. Things that I’m thinking about, are we in some ways, taking a step back or is it a big load up to leap forward? Are we letting too many robots steal our words to make us look intelligent but we really are not? Have we reduced our existence down to a 15 sec clip? Between you and me I want our purpose to be more than that. I want this group to be more than that. Anyway. I think I’m going to start doing more social gatherings to bring the people back together. You all can get most of your education from the YouTubes so I’m not going to compete with that right now. Our value is to be available first for each other so let’s connect this community again and have some fun. And if you want to talk about UX awesome! - Matt

Self-driving cars and remote kill switches present a slippery slope when it comes to the freedom of movement. These technologies may seem like a great idea until they serve an authoritarian government mandate—such as shutting down a country and restricting travel to only approved locations. “Oh, sorry, that place has been deemed inappropriate.” Tyranny often arrives under the guise of compassion and equality. I hope we don’t reach a point where a small group defines what compassion and equality should mean, though in some instances, we may already be there. It’s ironic how some innovations meant to improve quality of life can simultaneously erode it.

The kill switch law is setting a new standard in vehicle safety technology to thwart theft and impaired driving. Our article simplifies what you need to know, from the law’s specifics to its impacts on car owners and the automotive sector, equipping you with a clear understanding of this key legis...
