  A couple details this article fails to consider:

  • The law does not directly require a “kill switch”. Just the tech to add and talk to one. Calling it that is just fearmongering.
  • The law gives no access or control capabilities to law enforcement or government officials
  • There is to date still no mechanism for this device to measure blood alcohol content, which would have to be standardized by EOY for this to make the 2026 date where the earliest vehicles with this requirement can enter the market.
  • 18 Republicans voted for this, which was required to pass this bill in the first place. If you have a beef, I suggest taking it up with them.

  This is a shitty law, but it’s not as doom and gloomy as the source makes it out to be.

    The law lliterally includes the phrase “prevent or limit motor vehicle operation” Thats called a killswitch. Do you need me to grab the entire section?

      Right but that’s not the “kill switch”. The kill switch would be what detects BAC and responds by preventing or limiting motor vehicle operation.

      In other words, the tech added to cars won’t be the kill switch itself, it’ll enable the installation of one.

      Do you need me to grab the entire section?

      No thanks. Let me know if you need anything else cleared up.

  Nice to see even on lemmy conservatives are a bunch of paranoid doomers who misconstrue the truth to push their crap agenda.

  How is the car going to know if I’m drunk or not? Anyway, I’m not concerned, because if I can be confident of anything it is that someone will quickly figure out how to disable, trick or overcome any government mandated safety equipment installed.

    Cameras in the car. Most cars have something similar for the assisted driving.
