#22The actual law says that all cars after a certain date should have a system that can: "passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired; and prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected" There is an OR for detecting high blood alcohol level. There are a few years to get input, come up with preliminary rules, get more i…
In many rural parts of the country (say, Texas, New Mexico, or Arizona, where towns are quite scarce, roads are flat and straight, and there's nothing to hit in between), even grandmotherly drivers regularly exceed 100 MPH just to get there in a reasonable time. I don't want any cars monitoring drivers for conformance to silly laws. The fact that it took us a decade to kill the silly and counterproductive nationally-mandated 55-MPH speed limit should act as proff that the government frequently gets these things wrong. It's important that people have the ability to simply not comply, rather than having their technology force them into it.
If they actually do this, I'm predicting a run on old pre-controlled cars and trucks, and a thriving black market in circumvention technologies!

Read the 10th amendment to the constitution and try again. Government has no business dictating the conditions under which personal property can be used.
Except they already do. Seatbelts for starters. Driving is not a right in the US, but a privilege - it’s why you need a license to operate one.

#24What part of "passively monitor" permits automated shutoff? Police intervention might be problematic, especially if you're poor or non-white, but it's better than being shot at.

I’m not happy with any of it. The government doesn’t need that much power. It’s insane that this is even a discussion.

The lyrics of the old Rush song “Red Barchetta” also became a bit more like reality: https://www.rush.com/songs/red-barchetta/

Are you sure immigrants can all vote in their home countries if they don't live there? I am American, and can vote in local elections in Norway because I've lived here, legally, at least 3 years. This isn't uncommon, and I find it fair since these are the things that impact me the most. I cannot vote in national elections. Also fair. On the other hand, the American voting forms for me make sure to ask if I ever inten…
What is there to explain? It's common knowledge that states with large immigrant populations demand of their representatives to hinder federal immigration law. Those representatives listened, and have passed laws to that effect: https://www.fairus.org/issue/sanctuary-policies/do-you-live-...
Do you have a source that isn't an anti-immigration organization founded by a white supremacist? [1] Preferably something fairly mainstream and not so biased? And to be fair, I've not clicked because I don't really want to support the organization with clicks.

Wikipedia also has a list of sanctuary states and cities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctuary_city#United_States
As for being anti-immigration, do you also dismiss all pro-immigration organizations (such as the SPLC) as biased?
