Stop in for a cup of coffee

I called onstar one time when the road was closed because of fire, and GPS could not connect because of the smoke. They gave me directions around the fire area. Nice!!

OnStar has a connection equivalent to a satellite phone. Unlike GPS, it does not rely on line-of-sight connection to the GPS network.

OnStar is an amazing tool and I have no issue with it being used to shut down a car being used in a crime like a theft, carjacking or kidnapping case.

They don’t do it unilaterally, law enforcement must make an official request on record and then they comply.

Nothing freaky about it...unless you think today’s date is 50 years ago.
