Another bad idea by Big Government! This was also included in the so called infrastructure bill? How phony is that! Who voted for this!!!
This will surely make new vehicles more expensive beginning in 2026!
This is another foolish one size fits all measure! Many millions of drivers, who never or rarely drive while intoxicated have to pay for it!
Is this technology even fool proof or reliable!
Lousy politics!
Such a measure should be targeted at drivers caught driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs!
What about other drugs that impair driving? Will such preventative measures be next?
The attempt to compare this preventative measure with the introduction of mandatory airbags in 1991 is ridiculous! First of all this should not have been made mandatory (another Big Government measure to protect you from yourself). Second, airbags are so useful that most people would have voluntarily paid extra to have them installed in their car.
"... The $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that Congress passed last month requires drunk and impaired driving prevention technology as standard technology in vehicles as early as 2026. President Biden has signed the bill into law."
"... If successful, the law predicts, it could ultimately eliminate some 9,400 of the more than 10,000 drunken-driving deaths in the U.S. each year. ..."
