The Kill Switch... John Stossel

The Kill Switch
John Stossel


Soon the government might shut down your car.

President Joe Biden's new infrastructure gives bureaucrats that power.

You probably didn't hear about that because when media covered it, few mentioned the requirement that by 2026, every American car must "monitor" the driver, determine if he is impaired and, if so, "limit vehicle operation."

Rep. Thomas Massie objected, complaining that the law makes government "judge, jury and executioner on such a fundamental right!"

Congress approved the law anyway.

A USA Today "fact check" told readers, don't worry, "There's no kill switch in Biden's bill."

"They didn't read it, because it's there!" says automotive engineer and former vintage race car driver Lauren Fix in my new video. The clause is buried under Section 24220 of the law.

USA Today's "fact" check didn't lie, exactly. It acknowledged that the law requires "new cars to have technology that identifies if a driver is impaired and prevents operation." Apparently, they just didn't like the term "kill switch."

But it is a kill switch.

Will the system presume Boston drivers are perpetually impaired because they drop 'g' and 'r' at the end of words, and insert 'r' where there aren't any?
