New 2026 cars apparently will be equipped with an automatic shutdown device, should an impaired person be driving it.
Since I use no kind of a substance that can cause impairment, such as illicit drugs, whacky weed or alcohol, I sure cannot see any reason why I should have to pay for such an add-on....or pay for repair or replacement for such a useless device.
Some claim the government can just arbitrarily shut down anyone's car while travelling, but others say "not true"..
In any case it may just be a small step for a "big brother" administration to add this capability..
