Over the last century, the Land of the Free has slowly transformed into a land governed by endless laws, largely by cracking down on vices instead of actual crimes, creating a society that would render us all criminals if our behavior were constantly observed. Meanwhile, the state has steadily expanded its use of mass surveillance, largely under the pretext of fighting “terror.”
This is a toxic mixture.
Yes but onstar won’t arbitrarily shut you down for driving like a jackass.
Neither will this. It’s an alcohol-impairment feature, as per the article and the direct text of the bill itself (Page 403). It doesn’t have anything to do with driving styles.
How would your car know you’re alcohol impaired? What methodology will the car use to determine this? The least invasive one I can think of would be poor driving, weaving in and out of lanes, etc. So it must be monitoring that (or something) and arbitrarily decide that you’re impaired, and shut the car down.

Next they’ll take speeding, I’m sure.
