Takeover the complete control of the car?

Maybe not complete control, but maybe taking away breaks yes: https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/

Miller and Valasek’s full arsenal includes functions that at lower speeds fully kill the engine, abruptly engage the brakes, or disable them altogether. The most disturbing maneuver came when they cut the Jeep’s brakes, leaving me frantically pumping the pedal as the 2-ton SUV slid uncontrollably into a ditch.

We don’t realistically have enough global political power to apply any political pressure either.

Right, so why bother, it seems like we are just hurting canadians by having tariffs on evs

As stated in another comment Conrad Black was pardoned by trump. So he’s interested in making trump ok. IMO lemmy shouldn’t link to national post.

Also i imagine what magats would say if a foreign head of state called him governor.

Fuck you conrad black, you are a piece of shit, who’s had everything handed to you on a plate, and still turned out to be an asshole.

I feel like they def have issues, Taiwan, Tibet, Uyghurs, human rights record, general authoritarianism.

They also seem to have a better climate change story than anyone in north america, and USA has totally shown itself to be a mercurial alley.

I don’t see what advantage high tariffs have on something we want more of (EV’s). If the standards suck, then I’m ok with bringing them up to standard and charging for that.

Making this an either or “they are or aren’t our enemies” seems unnecessary, when we could buy their things and put pressure on them to do better on the things at the top.

Aren’t there penalties for breaking contract?

provincial and federal governments announced more than $22.3 million in funding to bring high-speed Internet

Can we get our 22.3 million + interest back then? Seems like it might be time to make it a public company again.

Bell Canada parent company BCE awarded its executives more than $5 million after announcing it was laying off 4,800 employees.

Fuck this company
