Don't they already have a kill switch in the fact that they have the authority to stop vehicles?

Or us the scary thought that it would be software/hardware and therefore insecure?

The insecurity is an issue, sure, but also just the fact you are turning over a crucial human activity to be far more strictly regulated. A "no fly lists" could be extended to "no drive lists" for instance; turning off the cars that don't pay vehicle registration, etc.

"No drive list" is the default.

Without a current license you should not be driving.
