A provision in the 2021 "infrastructure" spending package, as it turns out, includes a provision that directs the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to come up with a way to stop you from driving your car or truck if the government doesn't want you to. The measure is sold as a way to keep people from driving while impaired, but the implications are chilling.
"A provision in the bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that President Joe Biden signed in 2021 directed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to come up with a rule by this year requiring new cars to have “advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology.”
The law describes this tech as being able to “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle” and “prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected.”
Critics immediately raised privacy, cost, and reliability concerns any such “monitoring” system would raise, only to be reassured by the mainstream press that this was much ado about nothing. The provision was meant only to keep drunk drivers off the road."

Actually, the Globalists can’t agree on the number of people to be reduced. The more enlightened ones think 50% would be sufficient while the purists think the earth can support only a half billion people.
We need an amendment that says no budget may pass containing new rules or regulations. Anything that is a rule or law must be passed individually, so they can’t sneak this kind of thing through on us.
Either way, they’re both genocidal maniacs who don’t deserve any wealth or power.
Tyranny, thy name is leftism.

“we’re the govt and we’re here to help”
Damn shame there are so many squeamish #ing Rats that effectively vote for this garbage
No coincidence the MSM has them emotionally controlled.
The Feddies really don’t want to do this, do they? Our side has a lot of teenybopper hackers that will make them pay.
Super easy to do with an EV car.
A new version of CA rolling blackouts.
This is their plan to regulate all transportation.
Any car that would allow the remote start fob to kill the engine while driving was designed by an idiot.
They want the deep state asassins to catch up to you.
If your vehicle has OnStar, they can disable it remotely. No warrant needed.
What do you think is the impetus behind EVs?
A 200-mile range and it takes hours to recharge... the message I’m receiving is “STAY HOME.”
Saw a movie years back where the government attempted to murder someone but shutting off his car on the train tracks and disabling his doors so he couldn’t get out. Can’t recall if he escaped.
The price of 30-year old pre-OBD vehicles is about to skyrocket even more.
They want to control everything
Think we can vote our way out?
I don’t believe that .
I would pay good money to get my car off the net. Perhaps with a switch. Nobody is offering that improvement..
Why not?
I'll never own anything newer than early to mid 2000s because they started having too much tech and connectivity in them around that time.
