ChatGPT has a web search mode that does incorporate real time results into it's output.

I automate business processes for a living, not using AI (yet). I literally improve productivity for a living.

Making an argument about the consequences of people trying to make a living was exactly my point, but you fail to realize that that argument has been made literally hundreds of times over the last two centuries as new technologies have come out that cause concerns for workers, Including for fabric and sewing.

The first paragraph of the Wikipedia article on Luddites:

The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textile workers who opposed the use of certain types of automated machinery due to concerns relating to worker pay and output quality. They often destroyed the machines in organised raids.[1][2] Members of the group referred to themselves as Luddites, self-described followers of "Ned Ludd", a legendary weaver whose name was used as a pseudonym in threatening letters to mill owners and government officials.[3]

You're just Ludd-AI-tes

You can't really know that for certain yet, it's barely in it's infancy at this point. There are new improvements to it literally daily at the moment, it's going to keep getting noticeably better for years before the improvements slow down.

The public transportation infrastructure wouldn't hold up to that large a spike in demand

Not to mention that public transit doesn't even exist everywhere in the first place

Then on top of that, you'd have to pay for public transport while probably still paying off the car loan (which wouldn't just magically disappear because they break)

Also, car prices for everyone would go through the roof as demand shoots way up for a couple of years, since there isn't enough supply from the remaining companies to cover a 1 in 5 replacement for the entire country in any less time.

Then you'd have to deal with the millions of non-functional vehicles, towing and recycling them.

I simply mean it can't be used. Doesn't even need to be as bad as doing it while driving.

A foreign power able to disable the transportation for even 1 in 5 personal vehicles would be devestating to the country. The economic effects would be massive.

This has happened, the girl was found guilty of manslaughter.

Need your echo chamber to be free of reality and logic do you?

Why does scaling matter to the argument at all?

There aren't safeguards to protect us from a car manufacturer intentionally disabling vehicles.

I mean, it's literally already happened, and this was a hacker doing it so it's even easier for a car company to do it.

Any vehicle with OnStar can also be remotely disabled as well, it's literally advertised as an anti-theft feature. https://www.onstar.com/tips/stolen-vehicle-assistance-helps-stop-thieves

If your car can be contacted remotely (almost every modern vehicle) I guarantee you that it's possible for the manufacturer to brick it. It may not even require an update, there could be a hidden command in the existing software since the software is not publicly available to validate, nor is it being validated by the regulatory authorities.

What does that have to do with how proprietary the auto systems are?

It's far easier to detect a compromise on Windows or Linux than on a custom embedded system for which there is zero public documentation.
