This is the whole point: putting intermediaries between you and the things you think you own.

You think you own your car, phone, appliances, but actually, once this system is in place, you will effectively be on some sort of subscription contract with few traditional ownership rights, with many other parties (the car maker, government agencies) able to turn your car off remotely.

Nice and safe.

That's not entirely true. Most cars have revisions to software. Even ones from the 90s had ways to patch the ECU performed by dealers.

Not without the driver involved in the cycle, either directly or indirectly.

Now they are along for the ride no matter what.
