Car kill switches

The government will be able to kill your car, temporarily or permanently, if you do something it doesn’t approve of.
I’m sure we can trust the government to not abuse this power.

Besides, if you have a fucking brain you can bypass it. I programmed my Tesla to emulate my drunk driving just so I can have fun watching apes bounce off my hood while I two-fisted drink. And I’m a frickin’ lion. You know how hard it is to program when you have lion claws? It’s not easy but I’m a rick and I’m a lion so I can. ROAR!!!
What's True
A section of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which passed Congress in December 2021 and has since become law, gave the federal government three years to establish a rule that would require new cars to be “equipped with advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology.” However …
What's False
Exactly what that new technology entails has yet to be determined. Furthermore, a host of factors may extend the 2024 deadline for the new rule.
What's Undetermined
There currently is no mention of a "kill switch" that law enforcement could use to "shut your car off."
the IRS announced that by the summer of 2022, the only way to log into irs.gov will be through ID.me. The company has evolved to providing online ID verification services which several states are using to help reduce unemployment and pandemic-assistance fraud. The company claims to have 64 million users.
The process of verification is lengthy and requires proving a scan of drivers license, phone number, utility records, and facial recognition. All of this data will be verified against data maintained by the government.
Unless you successfully execute this verification, you won’t be able to contact the IRS about any issues.
Again, I’m sure this will all go smoothly and the data provided won’t be misused.

Now, show me your papers, take this injection, and stop posting misinformation. Because, crisis.
Now I can see if the "kill" switch is to make it easier to put in those devices that will not let you start your car or drive your car if you do the breathalizer in your car and if any alcohol is detected it wont start your car. YOu know the once they put in if you have a DUI. If that "kill" switch is just to make putting in those machines easier... FINE. But the only way to "engage" that kill switch is to have that breathalizer machine attached.
What power has the government granted itself now, this is pure demagoguery Straw man style ?
All this over something that does not exist, SMH
Make your mind up
I'm concerned about police cell phone hammers put up in areas. That's a huge civil rights violation
It’s about government mandates, yiu know, like Obama care?
Everything f about Icee revolves around a culture war. What a fag! No wonder he’s the most ignored member when you combine this account with all of his other aliases.
You're a fucking retard.
You’re so stupid Icee, yiu always take things out of context and put a spin on it just with a sole purpose to argue. No wonder you’re the most gated person here. Dumb is your first, middle, and last name.

Any chance we can get them to start using this as a form of ID verification for voting?
Personally, as someone who works as a fraud investigator for a credit card company I would love it if we could start using this tech when people open new accounts. I have seen way too many cases of family members, friends and trusted caretakers stealing someone's ID to rack up massive debt that could be greatly reduced with such technology.
As for the cars I wouldn't be opposed to mandatory devices that prevent someone who is drunk from driving the same way they require them for people who have had a DUI. Better yet, have the system charge them with something like "attempted DUI" if they try to drive while intoxicated. Maybe they could even figure out a way to have the same device tied into a national insurance database that would prevent the car from being driven when it isn't insured.
I read a lot of conservative websites. I have never read anything about, or from, someone or something called QAnon. The only time I see that term is when someone on the left wants to discredit something on the right. I don’t think QAnon exists anywhere except in the head of lefties.
We must be vigilant and stop stuff like this.

The problem is with the execution. I’ve had issues connecting with government websites in the past. When you hit a glitch, there is no recourse. If the data you enter doesn’t exactly match their database ( sometimes a formatting mistake ), that’s it. Dead end. When trying to communicate with the IRS, that’s a problem.

Exactly - they want "max identification" when it's convenient and no-identification also when it's convenient (rigging-elections) - in Washington D.C. one needs a vax ID as well as a personal ID to have a freaking hamburger in a restaurant but voter ID in order to elect a president for 300+ million people and the leader-of-the-free world "is not something we need an ID for nor should be enforced" - hard to believe what America has devolved to - I guess sayings are sayings for a reason and one of those is "all great empires fall from within"
Yeah – I’ve had this issue – I handle my mom’s and aunt’s affairs – they are elderly and also don’t speak English nor know how to use technology (internet; etc) – I’ve def had issues in the past where they ask questions for verification which is stuff my aunt and mom don’t remember often asking about things going way back many years – I haven’t had nearly the same issues when handling their affairs w.r.t. non-government things.

Will our government follow the lead of the UK and let us return to normal next month ? I have my doubts.
Now we just need to get them to stop talking about that so called vaccine!

but snopes was always crap even before they became political.
No?
Then WHY do you care? It’s laughable.
A vehicle kill switch accessible by government could easily be abused. Do people want the possibility of losing access to their cars as easily as they are banned from social media for wrong think?
I am speeding home to go to the bathroom, LE sees me and kills my car, so not only do I get a ticket but I foul the interior? I guess I'll have to mount a toilet behind the wheel.
