DRM for Cars: No Pay, No Play

[admin]

The credit meltdown is having an effect in places other than the housing market. Car buyers, for example, are finding it tougher to get a loan if they have bad credit. Several devices are helping ease the credit crunch by making sure buyers pay on time -- or else.

Pretty interesting insight into where we are heading.

Sekurus is continuing to introduce products. The latest enhancement is coupling the keypad to a global positioning device. Not only will the car's starter automatically shut off, but a message will go to the loan holder with its location to make repossession easier.

Car dealers gotta love that which I can understand.


How about DRM medical implant chips that viabrate or tickle you inside when your medical bill is way past paid and if not paid soon,
they can blow you up from the Hospital accounting office.

In California the used car dealers have implanted a box where if you are late on a payment, your car won't start.

No. I mean your car payment.

If it was made by man it can be defeated.
