Vehicle ‘Kill Switch’ Mandate Is a Gross (and Dangerous) Violation of Privacy::Over the last century, the Land of the Free has slowly transformed into a land governed by endless laws, largely by cracking down on vices instead of actual crimes, creating a society that would render us all criminals if our behavior were constantly observed. Meanwhile, the state has steadily expanded its use of mass surveillance, largely under the pretext of fighting “terror.” This is a toxic mixture.

Twisted? It was written that way.
“The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) is an American conservative, libertarian economic think tank.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_for_Economic_Education

a mandate that stands to require all new vehicles to have AI-driven technology that can disable your vehicle if the technology determines you’ve had one beer too many
This, too, is a false conclusion. The bill specifies that a monitor-and-disable technology exist to prevent impaired driving, not that it should be based on AI, nor does the bill require the detection of alcohol.
Does anyone believe that in 2027, if the NHTSA requested that system manufacturers turn over the information they collect, it would be told no? Don’t bet on it.
And there is nothing in the legislation mandating data collection or storage.
It’s a slippery slope my friend
A kill switch would be something the government could enable to, say, stop a fleeing vehicle.
That is NOT what this is. This is automated DUII prevention.
Makes you wonder why they’re phrasing it as a “kill switch”, doesn’t it?
