The Biden administration claims this regulation is needed to detect and prevent drunk and distracted driving. While every death due to drunk driving is a completely avoidable tragedy, the reality is the government is a sledgehammer, not a precision instrument.
The kinds of technologies the NHTSA is considering implementing will open a can of worms that will put “Big Brother” in your car and negatively impact your daily life. Under the proposed regulation:
- Cars will become more expensive than they already are
- Imperfections in the technology will lead to false positives that will stop your car from starting - a nuisance at best and dangerous at at worse if it occurs during a natural disaster or medical emergency
- Your personal and digital privacy will be at risk from the monitoring technology
- You will be presumed guilty which is why you must be watched throughout your drive
