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 city 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?
