MODERATORS
There's no regulation requiring Remote Ignition Block, and no regulation forbidding it either. Expect NHTSA to wait until there's a problem before it takes action one way or the other.
This is also not a "passive" system, and therefore not relevant to the hysteria surrounding this issue.
Sorry, yes, the new mandated system is "passive". It's all contained within the car, works automatically, doesn't require any outside commands, doesn't require any specific actions by the driver.
The Onstar system requires a request from police. They request the shutdown/slowdown, presumably when the car is in a safe location.
