This is not exactly a new tactic, and not something that would have to have been implemented without any cloud solution. A randomized 'kill -HUP' could do the same thing, for example.
I do agree and I also prefer electric vehicles, but this massive usage of personal cars should absolutely be reduced. I live in a country with fantastic public transport and regularly travel 150km+ one way(daily, for weeks). To do this in a car would be insane. To do this in comfort on a train is amazing. Don't conflate "electric vehicle" with "personal carriage".
My colleagues wonder how I can spend so much time commuting and don't stay in a hotel like they do. That's because they think like car people. Because 3 hours in car is torture. Being away from your family 5 days a week is preferable to them. Sure, traveling so much is not ideal, but my point is that trains can be far, far superior to cars. Cars only make sense last mile and in rural areas, in my opinion.
- Electric Trains
- Electric Trams
- Electric buses
- Electric cars
- Electric Airplanes
But I served three years in the Swedish army and wasn’t taught to obediently follow command when it makes no sense. I was taught to disobey illegal orders.
I can’t imagine a fighter pilot has so little authority over their actions like you describe.
