More 1984 (New technology mandate in infrastructure bill could significantly cut drunken driving deaths)

[gun_slinger_boy]

Did anyone else see this gem smuggled into the "infrastructure" bill?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2021/11/09/drunk-driving-technology-infrastructure/

"New cars would be required to have technology to stop drunk people from driving under a mandate Congress approved as part of the sweeping infrastructure bill — a step that could significantly reduce one of the leading causes of crash-related deaths."

Good luck getting this implemented in the timeframe they're aiming for but WTF. One day we won't even be able to wipe our asses without the govt's say so.

Just when you thought used car prices couldn't get higher.

Why don't they just make drunk driving illegal?

 

[ProgSpear]

Why don’t we tell them to fuck off?

I can't wait for a drunk to get in an accident and the ambulance can start because it can sense the alcohol. Then the guys family can sue, everyone.

Speaking of stupid laws... anyone have any issues with NYS inspections with FKH's SLEEP act?

I have a truck I built up myself and it's got a muffler, but it's not stock... it's not annoyingly loud, I wouldn't consider it deafening...

Like smart guns, whose liable when products just outright malfunction at the wrong time due to defects?

 

[Jmac00]

and some 12 year old will figure a way to defeat this idea in about 30 seconds

basically, driving will be available to the brain dead. The Government/nanny state thinks you're to stupid to get yourself from point A to point B without crashing.

I’m sure none of this will be hard to defeat. If they mandate smart guns I will take mine apart and defeat it. This I don’t agree with but I likely won’t defeat it unless it gives me trouble. The smart gun tech is likely just an electromagnetic safety. Take it apart and remove the spring and metal block and it’s a normal gun.

I'm kinda curious as well if this will be enforced. If I remember correctly is not on the inspection side like tint but on the enforcement side. Another reason to pull you over and make revenue.

I’m sure it’ll proceed to the inspection side before too long.
