Congress mandated in 2021 that all new cars include "advanced impaired driving prevention technology" by 2027. The tech includes infrared cameras that track your eyes, pupil dilation, and driving behavior. NHTSA missed its deadline to finalize rules because no current system meets the required 99.9% accuracy—even that level would strand tens of millions of sober drivers per year. NHTSA admitted in March 2026 that no system meets the legal requirement for reliable operation. The agency stated current detection technology shows "unacceptable error rates," particularly around legal alcohol limits. Here's the math that stopped NHTSA cold: Americans drive about 3 trillion...

According to reports such as this one in Blaze Media, the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act requires that: “Car manufacturers will need to comply with new AI tracking technology requirements by the end of the year. The add-ons will place cameras pointed directly at the driver's face to monitor eye movements, among other bodily functions.” The bill is ostensibly intended to "ensure the prevention of alcohol-impaired driving fatalities” via advanced prevention technology that "must be standard equipment in all new passenger motor...

At Mar-a-Lago, President Trump watched the operation unfold in real time with his national security team. It was January 3—exactly 36 years to the day since American forces had extracted military dictator Manuel...

But the warehouse and its biological hazards were discovered months earlier, on Dec. 19, 2022, by Jesalyn Harper, a code enforcement officer with the City of Reedley Fire Department.
