In this video we're talking abour GEOFENCING and GEOTIMING and how it could stop your car from going where you want, when you want, and it applies to all cars after around 2016. Scary stuff. #News #EV #BigBrother

Oh Geoff, you got to think bigger mate. With Geo timing and Geo fencing an authority will not need ANY infrastructure to implement ULEZ as cars will self report their locations and times. Bank holiday? Double road charge per mile that day. Exceed your daily environmental limit? Double road charge that day.... etc. etc.
YT keeps hiding this: This is the only story that a search of "GeoTiming" links to. It seems that [Hyundai's] correct term is "Time Fencing", as this term does not seem to be used by the UN? They do, however, document the term "GeoFencing". As with almost all automotive regulations, they originate from the UN, so for authoritative documentation, search for (replacing the _ with . ): "geofencing" unece_org "time fencing" hyundai_com According to Hyundai-CE, they first implemented Time Fencing in 2008 on their construction equipment.

Especially in a house with three people who need showers, cloths washed, dishes washed, water for ourselves and fur babies, ect. What we need to do is remember certain things, one being that we can fight this shit if we stop fighting each other and fight the overbearing government instead. Our voices being loud enough and us making enough fuss, even threatening to have certain members removed from their positions (which we can legally try and do), we could make a difference by fighting back (again I must state legally, do so legally).

The other issue here, that everyone seems to ignore, is the strange new idea that it is acceptable to change the terms and conditions of a contract, after the acceptance of that contract. We're hit with it over and over on phones, computers, software etc, and wrongly, we just accept it.
Depending on the jurisdiction, you can actually have large parts of the contract stricken or even the entire thing thrown out because the acceptance can be considered to have been under duress. This will largely depend on the judge though, some of them no longer consider things you have bought as your own property.
@@GremlinSciences I would think that a judge not considering things that you've bought as your own property, would be grounds to demand he recuse himself, or appeal.
@@Robbedem Yes we accept it with our phones, our computers, our software etc and the perpetrators become emboldened by being able to call it common practice.
This is the same nation that claims ōppression doesn't actually exist within its nation's borders. Only in far away third world countries and in its "past." If Aměricans and westerners aren't willing to accept the existence of the ōppression of the most vulnerable and exploited people in their societies, they won't care to look at the existence of any type of ōppresion, even their own. That's the catch 22 of the Southern Strategy.
Yeah, generally. I suppose the only way you'll get a new modern car without all this unwanted crap is to fabricate your own bespoke car. Sort of like Colin McRae's R4 car.
The reason why the majority of people don't read terms and conditions of anything, is because there will be 20 to 30 pages of tiny print, in which they can hide anything they want.
And because often enough nowadays, disagreeing to the updated terms & conditions means you can no longer use the product as a whole, rather than continue using the product without that service (most recent example is the update TOS for Roku TVs). At the very least they keep nagging you about accepting the new TOS every time you start the device, but often times they actually hold YOUR entire device hostage ober you not agreeing with new TOS for a service that the product can use! As soon as the tiniest, most insignificant service is integrated into a product, the manufacturer just treats the whole product as a service. That's how they're abolishing our ability to own the products we buy and they didn't even need to -bribe- lobby the government to make it legal, cause the government doesn't even understand how existing laws apply to this practice!
Some of the draconian rules implemented during Covid should have been a wake-up call. I live in Scotland and at one point we were not permitted to cross the border into England and could only travel 5 km outside our local authority boundary. Imagine if this technology had been widespread at that time. There’s no question it would have been used IMO.
The technology was there but it wasn't used...interesting. Yeah, this technology has been a thing since GM started installing OnStar. Even my 2009 Jeep Compass had a remote control that could be activated from the factory to turn the car off, and it didn't even have an SOS button.
@@Voltor07 Thank you for the valuable contribution. I am slightly upset that the control of the population (through what in future will be called Internet of Things and Digital ID) was planned so early. 😱
We are just blindly walking in to a dictatorship and no one really cares as long as they can watch Britains got Talent. Try to tell people and they laugh because they are too simply to look ‘underneath’ things yet will be the first ones to complain when they find their own rights restricted.
"We" = the majority, some of us have had our eyes open all the time and haven't been quiet about what we've seen and seeing either. It appears, the majority prefer to follow the (incentivised) Judas Goat (look it up, fgs) into the slaughter house.
For us who live in the real world; we have known about this for years this has been discussed openly by car manufacturers, and even during the pandemic a lot of the stimulus money that was given to these corporations to make this happen. This is why “they” want everything you do to be connected to the net so they can track it, block it, and monitor it and of course, control it.
That's old news. In 2013 it was passed as law that all cars model year 2018 and newer, including internal combustion cars have remote engine cutoff. There were articles in the internet, that have now all been deleted.
It was to be called 1948 but they decided it would scare the public then so they changed it. No prophet, just insider knowledge of British intelligence services of the time.
Who didn't see this coming. As soon as I saw that new cars, ICE included, could be switched on and off remotely I knew what would follow. Do not buy cars with computers, cars that connect to the net. You will never own something if someone else gets to control it.
You don't anyway. DVLA have first title to your car. Land registry have first title to your house, Social services have first title to your children. FACT
Actually the tech to enable this (Geofencing) has been around for years before remote kill mandates were cooked up. But yeah it has been fairly obvious where its all going for a while now. All just different pieces in the same totalitarian puzzle.
I think if a car company offered an ice car that sat 4 adults, standard transmission, carburetor, distributor with no transistors, windows that you windup by hand, a heating system with leavers that allowed air to flow without being forced by a fan, standard steering no power assist, standard breaks , no power assist. It would sell out, so much so the company would have a hard time keeping up.
I think that's stepping back a bit far; there was power steering and braking assist that worked mechanically without a computer back in the 70's-80's, as well as A/C blowers that just used battery power and a potentiometer for control. If you took all that old tech and combined it with modern engineering, you could almost definitely improve fuel efficiency, and the only trade-off would be that mechanics would have to actually know what they're doing.
Today I was driving behind a 1991 Toyota MR2. It was so nice to be able to see the indicators properly, flashing in a non-dazzling orange at a reasonable interval. Modern junk is a clown show.
"Today I was driving behind a 1991 Mazda MR2." Oh no you weren't. Nobody in the history of time has driven behind, in front or beside a Mazda MR2 from any year.
You're so right. All new cars seem to synchronise turning off the main lamp when the indicator blinks? Yet if you were to just have a bulb gone on the side you were turning, you'd be pulled over?
I just realised this is the tip of the iceberg, they will be able to geo-fence your phone and your key card and you will literally be unable to go anywhere they don’t approve. Absolute total control!
Over here in the US, my best friend just got a brand new Hyundai Ioniq about 4 months ago. It has already had two recalls which he did not elaborate on. However, he was shocked to find out that the yearly registration of his fully electric vehicle was over $1700.00 because being electric he does not pay Road Use and Gasoline Taxes. So you get to pay what the government considers your share of the taxes and adds it to your registration fee. He stated this was never disclosed to him in any of the conversations he had with the dealership. I'll have to ask him about the geo-fencing updates.
How is that outrageous? Especially when EVs weigh 2-3x as much as an IC vehicle therefore causing more road wear? They should just drive for "free" then?

"Get yourself an old car" and then pay a fortune on road tax + ulez charges (which are popping up in every city) They are forcing us into newer cars by making up absolute nonsense claiming euro 5 diesels are "highly polluting" when they absolutely are not. My Euro 5 Volvo is great and I would drive that more if I could, but now I had to pickup the oldest Euro 6 car I could as well (Bluetec merc) to be able to go into all these stupid ulez zones that are popping up all over the UIK and Europe. I have to go along with this s**t when I would much rather be keeping old cars going for as long as possible
The service manager is more informed about the product than the sales executives??? Things have changed then, when I was selling Volvo's (early 2000's) we were trained to know everything about the product... nowadays they are trained to not know everything?
Not surprised people don't complain... 30+ pages of these "imposed" t&c's. It's a known fact that most people don't read them. Same for any contract these days. Accept our imposed terms or stop using the service.
A bit like the US bills they pass, you have to read them to see what's in it because they give to the voting members a night or two before, knowing full well they won't have time to read it before the vote.
You don't need to sign anything at all to form a contract under English laws of contract. In fact most consumers contract via unsigned supplier terms regulated by a statutory body of minimum standard terms often referred to as "implied provisions" or "statutory rights" Digital "Click Wrap" or "Click Through" terms are valid under English contract law. However, unilaterally impositions of unfair or unreasonable terms on a consumer in a contract, without making the consumer explicitly aware of what they mean is a potential problem and may render them unenforceable
I assume you’re joking, not about geofencing (very worrying) but about the news? The media are absolutely certainly in cahoots with the Uber control lunatics of Davos, parasitic at WEFminster. If you hear anything on the official news, it’s lies. That’s all they broadcast.

I recently had solar installed at home. I was going to buy the Tesla battery when the salesman proudly told me about their safety feature "it's monitored from Australia so they can turn it off remotely if there's a safety issue". Huh, what? They can turn off my solar whenever they choose without my permission? Er, yes... Needless to say, I went with another battery, that was smaller for similar money, but couldn't be remotely turned off. I wonder how many solar owners realise their self sufficient solar system can be turned off whenever the government chooses.
This has really shocked me. I sell new Toyota's for a large dealership in CQ Australia. When I return to work I'll have to look into this. Every vehicle I sell has an SOS button, and I don't believe the car needs to be a BEV to be controlled remotely. I guess I knew this was coming but not yet ffs! I will need to be careful about who I question and what I ask, or it will likely cost me my job. This is very bad news for all of us. How we stop this though, I don't know.
Going even further, any vehicle with power steering and electronically controlled air intake (anything without a physical cable from the pedal to the intake valve) *and* any form of radio communication thats linked to the cars computer can be driven remotely. You may need to do some hacky software stuff, but I'm sure the fed-boys have already gotten it figured out.

Here in Canada, we did a test build of smart phone based geo-fencing in a large shopping mall and surrounding few blocks a few years back. We could limit people coming and going based on practically any criteria we wanted - income, job type, medical details, criminal history, who they're with, even down to what they just bought for lunch. We could alert the people thru amber-alert style warning alarms, or have it 'silent' so only the administrators knew that a breach was happening and then automate various actions to take on top of all that. I know the city ended up getting $4.7B to continue the roll out of the plan on a larger scale by the federal gov't and since then the feds have also poured similar amounts into other major cities to roll out the same system 'for monitoring' purposes only (so far). It's being done under the guise of "smart cities" so watch for that term to become more and more prevalent in the media.

So true. Not only am I not buying a new car, but my next car will be older than my current one! OR could we get the network/phone functionality of new cars disabled? 'Privacy mods' might be the way forward, although manufacturers and governments won't like it and may make it illegal.
Thank you Geoff, and thank you to the person who told you about his very worrying discovery on page 30 of his un-asked for terms and conditions. Really serious.
How strange, do you know, I have a Kona and had to press a ‘terms and conditions’ button. No where near 30 pages. Nothing about them being able to restrict the car. Nothing about the “government “ having control. Just had to pop out and check I actually do own a Kona! Oh and I could update my own sat nav. Perhaps that says something about Geoffbuysknackerheaps imaginary correspondent than anything.
Geofencing refers to setting up virtual boundaries or "fences" around specific geographic areas. When a user enters or exits the predefined geographic area, they can trigger certain actions such as receiving notifications, ads, or other location-based services. For example, retailers may use geofencing to target shoppers who enter their store's vicinity with special offers or discounts, encouraging them to make a purchase. It got nothing to do with preventing your car driving in certain areas, it's purely a marketing tool.

Not really. You have legal protections against any unreasonable or illegal EULA provisions. And if you're in a situation where it is the govt forcing things on you whether or not you accept the EULA won't matter. It genuinely is pointless to read EULAs for the average person, as the average person does not have the financial resources to litigate on specific provisions.
depends on the eula, if it illegal what its push on you, it is outright invalid. also in many court case stated that no person is expected to actually understand those shit pushed on them for everything, so more or less they are outright invalid by default. on the other hand, if the government pushing something on you, good luck fighting it without a full sized mob.
Exactly. People think its as simple saying, "I didnt agree to that!" You cant have your cake and eat it too. If you're using a device/service, you've consented whether you realize it or not and thats all the courts care about.
Honestly, this has existed for years in the rental car market (to stop people driving cars that they failed to keep up to date on the payments for; I've heard of it more in America than the UK), but it was done via an add-on board rather than being built into the car itself. The geofencing / geotiming capabilities are most likely only going to be used by insurance companies (e.g. for geofenced/geotimed insurance policies) or by the courts in an ASBO-style system (for problematic drivers who still need to be able to drive, i.e. teenagers who drag race on residential streets at night), something they can already do via the add-on boards. While some people do discuss the "no-car days", it's generally so unpopular with the populace that no-one would actually try to implement it. Soft measures (such as congestion charges, ULEZ etc.) do a much better job while being more palatable (rather than being told you can't drive your car, you just have to pay an extra charge which discourages you from doing so). The inclusion of these capabilities isn't pleasant, but it's no worse than what's already available on the market. As for the statement of cars being fully autonomous, but 'not yet switched on', the lack of detail there is a bit misleading. The cars have the sensors and actuators to drive themselves (just look at the auto-parking features), but the software isn't ready for it and so they can't 'switch it on'. Once the software catches up, they're not just going to upgrade older models for free, they'll make you buy the new model for the self-driving capabilities.
I told people that the EU would be mandating putting tracking on all new cars years ago and no one believed me. They do all this shit by stealth or clever marketing it as "for your benefit or safety". I deliberately bought a 10 year old BMW. They keep telling me it's due for a software update. When I ask them what it does, they don't know. I say, it's not broke, why fix it?
I'd have gone for a 15 or 20 year old BMW, personally. Nothing made after 2010 for me! Nothing made by a US manufacturer after 2006 or first half of 2007 (so a 2007 Chevy Classic would still be on the menu) because they all become a bit shit in late 2007-2008. Mom had a late 07 Suburban, half the mileage of my 04. Engine shat the bed because the AFM lifters collapsed. My 04 has a few electrical gremlins (the newest one is the keyless entry doesn't work, damned GM electronics) and interior rattles but the engine's still reasonably healthy for over 220k miles.
@@lsswappedcessna 2008 financial collapse had a lot to do with it.

Yeah, thats the thing, all it takes is one marketing campaign showing how they're gonna be able to save your life when you're in an accident cause they'll know where you are and with all the sensors they'll be able to tell you got in an accident. People will be like, "How comforting!!" And they'll tell all their friends how safe their car is cause it knows when an accident happens and sends help right to you! It's gonna save so many lives!

I did some further digging, and it’s more of a fleet management feature. Both the geofencing and geotiming capabilities are used with a companion app. It’s usually used by companies and municipalities as part of its fleet management.

Geo-fencing isn't just for trolleys at the market. It's the same tech used for ankle monitors used to keep track of criminals. That's what our governments think of us.
And people still don't believe there's an agenda to either get us out of our cars or limit where we can go or what we can do. I had my service on a 22 VW end of Feb, I was told over the phone when booking that there was a software update available for install, which I politely declined, especially after I asked for a changelog list for the update, which she was unable to provide. As far as I can tell VW hasn't implemented any geo related capabilities, yet, but I'm not interested in any software updates knowing what I knew about EU black box event data recorder plans before buying (EU EDR laws came into effect from summer 2022), and that dealerships can't tell me what's in software updates. I'm never buying a new car again, if I swap, it will be an older car.
I'm similarly minded about not buying new cars UNLESS I can get a privacy mod done to disconnect from the network. As a minimum just disconnect or fry the SIM module, and maybe the GPS module too. Maybe install a switch in the cable. Could be an easy mod actually, in which case I'm not too worried. But I'm sure they will have counter-measures to this, so you would need to check it won't brick your car etc.

Even Audi's website warns you off EV'S:- Lithium-ion batteries, of the type used in most electric vehicles (including Audi electric vehicles) have a restricted lifespan. Battery capacity will reduce over time, with use and charging. Reduction in battery capacity will affect the performance of the vehicle, including the range achievable, and may impact resale value. New car performance figures (including battery capacity and range) may be provided for the purposes of comparison between vehicles. You should not rely on new car performance figures (including battery capacity and range), in relation to used vehicles with older batteries, as they will not reflect used vehicle performance in the real world.
They have to do that to stop the idiots from suing them over range dropping off over time. Believe me audi isn't wanting you to not buy EVs after they just spent millions developing them 🤦

There was even a leak maybe 8 years ago from the NSA ( I wish I could remember the name, like all big names it got one of those silly names) talking about using wireless ECU functionality as an assassination tool by causing stuck throttles and brake failure via the ECU. The leak was from around the same time as all of those toyotas had stuck throttle incidents in the news, which obviously caused people to speculate.
Hi Geoff, have you read about the recent petition on LED headlights. Over 100k have signed up and now has to be discussed in parliament. Have to say it's not being reported in MSM. Problems with brightness and glare......too powerful and have to agree. Perhaps you can look into this and do a vlog!!
Can you send the link to that petition? I will sign! I've been complaining about the blinding glare from modern car headlights for at least 5 years now!
@matthewwhard this is also interesting, in Germany, I moved there in the late 90s and found out it was illegal to drive with your parking lights/side lights on ,something we would normally do on a dull rainy morning in the UK,we didn't put the full head lights just the side lights ,now here in Germany all the new cars have ,what I consider to be side lights, permanently on,so I did a search and it still is illegal to drive in Germany with just your parking/side lights on ,interesting
My Peugeot 308, bought as an ex demonstrator from a main dealership in 2014, so almost brand new and a 14 plate, has the capability of sending an SOS. I think this been around a lot longer than you think. My car, although now ten years old has a lot of the bells and whistles, such as emergency calling, satnav built in, tyre pressure monitor, speed set availability, etc, etc and I get the occasional message from the dealer telling me of the availability of a software update. However, apart from the first couple of years, I didn't see any point and have not updated. I now realise that that was probably a good move. Thanks Geoff.
Love the dystopian sky shot at the end. I mean, who needs the sun anyway? Anyone else ever get the feeling they are already here and acclimatising the place to suit themselves....??
Wasn't expecting to laugh in this video, but I laughed so much at the line through the km/h and the mph written in pen on the top trumps card 🤣 no metric here, thank you very much! Great informative video thank you, even though I'm more worried where this is going to end up 😆 subscribed 👍🙏
I'm glad I'm sticking with my 2007 Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 8v. Sure, she's a bit of a pup, sure she doesn't have 'Grunt' and yeah, she ain't modern, BUT... She DOES give pretty good MPG, and, NONE of this computerised/linked to the Govt/dubious industry/'Controll the masses' crap! 😒 😎🇬🇧
I checked my t&cs, geofence, speed alert, time fencing, valet alert, they are all there and they alert you in the app if the driver exceeds the boundaries you set. Great for teenage drivers. No mention of law. I suspect a little bit of sensationalism going on here. Also I can delete the app and rescind the contract.
I remember back in 2003, general motors began the on-star system and advertised being able to disabled a vehicle remotely if you report it stolen. Since then this technology was too powerful
You can see why there is intrest in pre electronic tractors which operated by rods and cables and ran on any old fuel you might find. If everybody won't to demonstrate against the Government at the moment we just jump into our car and arrive in London. In the future somebody switch everybody's cars off. The Government says we never noticed any demonstration. This happened in the past the Police stopped coach's and trains before they reached London. Public security is protecting the 1%from the 99%.
As you pointed out its not just the kona its quite a number and covers all types of fuel not just EVs. However don't think you will get away from this as all the older cars will be legislated off the road. The EU is already talking about stopping you from driving cars older than 12 years old. It will be presented under the green agenda but in reality its there to control you and make you spend your money on newer cars keeping the German economy afloat.
