It was most likely in the specs from the beginning. You can't have busses roaming around with no way to turn them off remotely.

"You can't have busses roaming around with no way to turn them off remotely."

Hm? Not a single bus on the road in my city can be turned off remotely. There's never been one ever, since bus transport started. So why should, no, must, that be a feature of new buses?

		Why do you think that they can't be turned off remotely? They all have over the air updates. Just push the update the bricks the bus.

I’m pretty sure turning off the bus is something the bus driver can do. It’s not like buses were wildly roaming around before cellular networks were invented…

Yes, those wild buses on the loose have been a major problem

		Kinda explains why nothing is being done in Poland about hunters accidently killing lots of people, mistaking them for boars. If you crack down on hunters, you can't have them control the population of wild buses.

Can't you? And who should have that power? I believe that this is the concern.

What? That's the way it's always been.

Do you imagine some benevolent authority sits in your town with a finger on the kill switch for every vehicle in motion?

If it were in the specs from the beginning, there would be no issue. This isn't a "click here to accept" thing; multiple people scan the technical data in these projects.

Better than a bus that are blown up if it goes under 50 mph.
