Besides what the other user said about the owner, all new cars produced have a kill switch in them. Laws mandate certain features in cars so if someone like you makes a new company you'd have to comply with these features.
We're catering too much to the auto industry at this point, it's a stranglehold on the market. Instead of holding these massive companies accountable (coughkiahyundaicough) with theft issues and lacking security systems, now just install kill stitches on everything, and have additional ways to monitor citizens since it'll be always connected smh.
The only real option is to get older cars without this tech in it. 2011ish is the cutoff
