"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.

Look at what I replied to. The claim was "You can't have [buses] roaming around with no way to turn them off remotely". As if there's some general rule or agreement that it MUST be possible to turn buses off remotely. What I stated was that of course there's no such mandate.

And when I said "Not a single bus on the road in my country can be turned off remotely", that's the truth. They can't. They're all diesel, so there's not even a remote possibility of a hidden esim-powered switch.

Why did the post I replied to claim that it must be possible for buses? And why did you assume that I meant something else, and that all buses are electric?
