Partners are using kill switches in smart cars to control how far their partners can travel from the family house.

Basically, the person being controlled is allowed to go to the shops and for school drop offs - maybe to the doctors if they're lucky - and that's it.

Really awful stuff.

Domestic violence is just treated as an inconvenient part of aussie culture. There has never been any real attempts by the government to change that. All progress has been grassroots

a geofencing kill switch had been set up in the car, setting up a virtual perimeter to stop her car from going more than a few kilometres from home. The mechanic was a friend of her ex-partner and had installed the switch to monitor, control, and intimidate her.
