Hidden on page 403 of the “Infrastructure Law”, which was already passed, is a mandate for a government kill switch for all cars in 2026.
The provision requires “advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology” to be built into all new cars. This technology will be able to “passively monitor the performance” of all drivers, suggesting this system will be on at all times. If the data indicate the driver is “impaired,” the system will “prevent or limit motor vehicle operation,” according to the legislation.
These tyrants that vote for this want the government to control most of our lives. Giving bureaucrats the power to shut off our vehicles under circumstances they control will be the next step toward America becoming an authoritarian state.
Here is “Legally Armed America” talking about this “kill switch”, it’s tyrannical overreach, and how it could also be used against gun owners.
