And that's not a bad thing.

Well sure, I'm not in it right now.

I hate such click-bait titles. I definitely control my car, and I'm not interested in figuring out the contorted reasoning justification behind why this particular title was chosen.

I'm going to argue that it isn't click bait.

With the removal of the drive by cable throttles that you only influence what your engine does. You have no physical connection to it anymore.

In my car - or only in newly manufactured ones? Bc this title says it has happened to my vehicle.

Not everyone has bought a brand-new vehicle, either in this past year or even this past decade.

Making a title seem like it has a broader range of applicability than it actually does, for the sake of increasing clicks to it, is the very definition of click-bait.

You control it until someone else gets control I guess. Can be remotely shutdown, unlocked, stolen, etc. it's not yours, you're governed by software.

Quit being pedantic. If yours isn't the new trackable ones then move on.

The base model Nissan cube featured in the video and my personal car are drive by wire and not trackable.

So does that invalidate what's in the video since it didn't specifically so "except YoddishMcSquidish, you're good'?

The video doesn't mention tracking. Logging of cylinder performance, but not wireless active tracking. And I'm not trying to cause contention dude, just presenting facts.

I haven't had a chance to see this specific one, but I've seen dozens of others about tracking vehicles and reporting to insurance, things like that.
