Dystopian Auto Future: 'Kill Switch Jail' Awaits

In the United States, Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act may soon place "kill switches" in cars by 2026. These will monitor and potentially disable vehicles if impairment is detected, sparking debates on privacy and tech reliability. While proponents argue for safer roads, critics, including Rep. Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie), see this as an overreach, dubbing it "kill switch jail." Concerns over misreadings, privacy, and tech costs loom large as automakers race to implement this controversial mandate.
