'Threat actors continue to explore ways to circumvent detection and enforcement, such as implying instead of explicitly stating things.' ∽ EU Board for Digital Services, 18 Nov. 2025
Just imagine what the EU can do with the Biden-regime created 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which stipulates all cars produced and sold from January 1st 2027 must include a kill-switch that will make it impossible for you to start your car if the onboard mandatory AI (with always-online hook-up) deems you being "impaired" in some way.
Some online pundits have opined this will lead to an increase of people using older cars. It won't.
For starters, the state will mandate higher insurance rates for cars without the kill-switch.
Secondly, insurance companies will tack on extra premium costs and will refuse to pay out insurance if and when they can argue "the incident wouldn't have happened if the vehicle had had the AI-assisted safet system".
Third, the state will limit where and when you may drive "unsafe" cars.
And so on - I could pile on more such stuff, that keeps it totally "voluntary" to buy a state-corporate controlled Iphone-with-wheels.

Meanwhile, hard empirical data for what all the surveillance has actually achieved?
I’d be very surprised if EU doesn’t already have a similar regulation in place. This is a reflection of desires of a supra national globalist force. If EU doesn’t have it, it is in the works. My point is that these things are not a result of Biden’s or Ursula’s whims, but are originating from developing structures of “global governance”, from our Overlords.
Of course it's in place, but it's a bit different than in the US: from July onwards, that surveillance tech is mandatory in new cars and the 'kill' is automated as soon as 'HAL-2000' determines you're not having both hands on the wheel etc...

Might as well look for unicorns.

Variations due to local flavors.
Exactly.
Also: Europeans are more accustomed to that kind of 'nudging' than Americans.
