The EU implementing its socialist policies. Next, the EU will dictate what car you will be permitted to drive, how far and how frequently. THEY will determine if its ok for you to go to the shops at 1am, or not.

No doubt there will be a work around fortunately.

We’ve recently seen the catastrophic events of technology intervening in the operation of aircraft, namely MACS in the 737 Max. Big brother suddenly intervening in the operation of a motor vehicle, with no authority from the driver to override it, is a recipe for disaster.
