Modern cars enslave their owners
Modern cars enslave their ownersDigital Dawn - Apr 23, 2024
Dystopian technocratic takeover. The automobile, which was once a tool of personal freedom, has become a tool of control under the “big brother” technologies of smart grids.
Modern cars produced since the mid-2010s are equipped with “Trojan horse” technologies that owners are starting to become aware of. These technologies can control where and when drivers are allowed to drive, track drivers' eyes, record occupant conversations, collect genetic and health information, biometric data and weight of drivers and passengers, lead to increased car insurance premiums and even monitor drivers' sexual activity.
In a recent video, British automotive journalist Geoff Buys Cars explains how a Hyundai Kona that has undergone a software update is now subject to geofencing and geotiming, in other words, the car can now have distance and time limits set remotely by the manufacturer. The software update's terms of use specify that these driving restrictions will only be activated if required by law.
“That means you won't be able to drive your car beyond the limits decided by the government, so all these conspiracies about 15 minute cities, climate zones and lockdowns, how are they going to implement them? Well, probably with the geofencing capabilities that are built into these cars, using the infrastructure that they're already putting on the roads with all the cameras and all the sensors and all the new technology that's coming into place," he said. Geoff said.
Hyundai refused to roll back the update, making the controls a permanent "feature." The automotive journalist clarified that all modern cars have the capability to do this, so even if a car's software does not currently allow restricting driving distance, trip location, permitted travel times and even autonomous driving, this control may be added at a later date.
“Some everyday cars are already fully autonomous, the technology is already in cars, they just haven't been turned on yet,” Geoff said.
The automotive journalist goes on to explain how this technology can be used to stop people from driving their cars on Sunday, possibly to stop them from going to church, under the guise of "saving the planet" in the future. climate blockade, before ending the video by pointing the camera at a trail of atmospheric aerosol (chemtrail) and ironically saying "it's pretty good, isn't it".
This new monitoring and control technology is also used by automobile insurers. WSB-TV recently reported on an American woman who saw her insurance premium increase by 80% after her current-generation Chevrolet Camero began downloading hundreds of pages of information about her driving habits to Chevrolet , who then sold them to data brokers, who then bought them from large insurance companies.

End of the green car insurance sticker on April 1, 2024
End of the green car insurance sticker on April 1, 2024Geolintel - March 19, 2024
April fools or April poison that is the question. The dematerialization of everyone's life is always presented as environmental progress since the saving in printing these green stickers will represent a carbon saving and millions of euros.
The height of this hypocrisy is the duty to keep an insurance certificate in your vehicle.
When taking out a contract, the insured will receive a single document from their insurer, the Insured Vehicle Memo. It is advisable to leave this document in the vehicle in order to have access to this information at any time.
The abolition of the green card is supposed to fight against fraud and non-insurance, but above all to increase the control of motorists by the authorities. We are witnessing the privatization of personal data by the State to increase repression and sanctions.
The decree relating to the abolition of the automobile “green card” was published in the Official Journal on December 9, 2023. This decree represents an important step forward in simplifying the administrative life of the French.
With the centralization of insurance information, 680 vehicles, according to Road Safety estimates, will be scrutinized to track down automobile non-insurance.
Increase in the price of car insurance
In 2024, car insurance prices will increase further, 49% of French people do not know how much the increase in their insurance rates will be.
Faced with this inflation of automobile insurance, policyholders are struggling to pay for repairs after an accident due to the increase in the price of repair parts.
With the new insurance files, the State will know whether the vehicle is legal to drive or not.
If we add to this the end of repairs for vehicles over fifteen years old, it is a real tyranny which will weigh on the shoulders of the French people affected by these new decisions.
The average price of car insurance in France is €630 per year and the increase in costs for parts and insurance will force the insured to take out third-party insurance to maintain their car budget.
Any owner of a vehicle in circulation must have at least civil liability insurance (required by Article L211-4 of the Insurance Code).
Third-party car insurance offers the legal minimum level of coverage imposed by the Insurance Code. This guarantee allows you to repair damage caused to others by your vehicle but does not take into account the damage you suffer.
Everything is done to encourage people to limit vehicle maintenance and a new decree requiring examination to ensure the reliability and safety of the vehicle through a technical inspection, would be dramatic for the motorist. This project is in the “boxes” and would condemn the insured to no longer being able to use his car with all the consequences that ensue.
Modernization and control
Since May 2023, the automobile technical inspection has included two new checks: the automatic emergency call and the collection of information relating to fuel consumption. If the first can give rise to a counter-inspection, the second is not obligatory. “eCall” is mandatory on all new cars sold since 2018. It is an automatic emergency call in the event of an accident to the emergency services and which transmits the GPS coordinates of the position of the accident vehicle. The other OBFCM regulation (On Board Fuel Consumption Monitoring, i.e. “automated measurement of fuel consumption”), enacted by the European Commission for all vehicles put into circulation since January 1, 2021, requires manufacturers to install software that records consumption data. The aim is to be able to collect information on actual consumption and to prove whether excessive speed caused an accident.
The car, a concern for insurers
In 2022, insurers paid more than 50 billion euros in compensation to their customers, including 10 billion for natural disasters. Insurers, for the sake of economy, are looking for those who are unlucky and bad payers. More than a million French people have had their insurance canceled and this purge is not over. In the event of a recurrence of a claim, the insured may be terminated by his insurer without any justification other than that it costs too much.
Car insurance is intended to cover risks; in the event of an increase in responsible or non-responsible claims, the insurer can cancel you without arbitration. The reasons given are: Unpaid premiums, accumulation of claims, aggravated risk, false declaration, omission or inaccurate declaration, missing documents (license, information statement, registration document). According to article A.211-1-2 of the insurance code, your insurer also has the right to terminate you after a claim if this is mentioned in the general conditions of your contract in the “termination” section.
How long will we continue to accept this tyranny over motorists?

Nissan - Kia: collecting data on the "sexual activity" of drivers!
Nissan - Kia: collecting data on the "sexual activity" of drivers!The Media in 4-4-2 - Sep 10, 2023
Nissan and Kia can collect data on drivers' "sexual activity" and "sex lives"!
Car manufacturers Nissan and Kia have been implicated in an alarming study conducted by an online privacy organization. According to this investigation, these companies are able to collect data on the "sexual activity" and "sex life" of their drivers, and it is even possible that they plan to sell this information to third-party advertisers.
This worrying collection of personal information by these two automakers has earned them poor marks from the Mozilla Foundation, the maker of the Firefox web browser, which has conducted privacy audits on 25 car brands. The foundation said most automakers can extract personal information about drivers from various sources after drivers connect their smartphones to the vehicle's connected services.
“This collection of information is done through a network of sensors, microphones, cameras and the connected phones, apps and services you use in your vehicle”

French motorways: The secret report which confirms their over-profitability
French motorways: The secret report which confirms their over-profitabilityInternational Network - Apr 06, 2023
Revealed at the end of January by the press, the stifled report of 2021 on the economic model of motorway concession companies (SCA), which confirms the over-profitability of the latter, remains kept confidential by the government.
Caradisiac, which has just got its hands on it, has therefore decided to make it public exclusively, in partnership with Marianne.
On France Info, a week ago, Bruno Le Maire promised to publish it.
But the Minister of Economy and Finance, expected to discuss it in the National Assembly on March 22, with his colleague from Transport, Clément Beaune, was careful not to specify a deadline.
And, for the time being, the report devoted to the economic model of motorway concession companies (SCA), which was submitted to it more than two years ago, remains confidential.
It remains so even for some of the parliamentarians about to question it, since it has only been communicated to the presidents of the finance committees of the two chambers.
The information it contains is however of general interest, and should not be intended to remain secret, according to Caradisiac.
This is why, in association with the weekly Marianne, we have decided to make it public.
A copy did indeed fall into our hands, and here is this muffled highway report offered for free download.

Discover the secret report on motorway companies that confirms their overprofitability
The report
It has just been removed from the pages devoted to the land use planning tax (TAT), the increase in which since 2020 has brought in an additional 1 billion euros to the State, which has prompted the SCAs to open a dispute.
According to Bruno Le Maire, this part of the report would constitute the government's "defence brief" which should not be revealed to the concessionary companies...
