Government 'Kill Switch' in Your Next Car

January 26, 2026 • 09:05

The federal government has mandated advanced impaired driving prevention technology in all new vehicles starting in 2026, allowing cars to disable themselves without a warrant or due process. This ‘kill switch’ can prevent driving based on software judgment, with no appeals or human review, raising serious constitutional, privacy, and safety concerns. Critics urge defunding this mandate to protect driver rights and mobility.
