Ok Sedan, whats your take on this new requirement that was found in Bidens infrastructure that will require all new vehicles after 2026 to have automated systems to monitor driver performance and determine if they are impaired, and make a decision to disable their vehicle?
Not a lot of details yet, but it's being discussed here: https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1880977 I'm all for getting impaired drivers of the roads, but as discussed on page 3 theres issues with this from the legal side and safety side.

Britain has already taken steps to mandate speed limiters on all new cars starting in 2025 if I recall, and her in Ontario if you get convicted of impaired driving after your 1 year suspension you must install an ignition interdiction device that requires a breath sample before you can start the car. There has been a push to have these installed in all new cars by some of the left leaning politicians. I don't know if that will ever fly but given the way things are going I wouldn't be shocked.

Hmmmm. Just from a curious mind that can't resist tinkering with things and trying to break them - I know that the breathalyzer ignition locks require a continuous breath vs a quick puff. I don't know exactly how they work to detect the alcohol on your breath, buuuuuut...would a small bicycle pump + balloon be enough to fool it? Ie, pump up the balloon real quick, pinch it off, put it over the mouthpiece, release the balloon, start the car?

I agree, but as we all too well know there are people out there who think that any control government can put on you to force you to comply with the rules is ok. These are the people who drive the speed limit in the left lane because the law says the speed limit is X so that's what everyone should be driving.

Personally I’m more on the side of much stiffer penalties for people who do it than all this bs punish everyone because of a few bad apples who break the law.

In practice, the systems are likely just going to track driving behavior to see if it falls out of norm (e.g., driver is having trouble keeping steady in lane, driver can't maintain forward focus out of the windshield, etc.). The issue could be DWI, could be sleep deprivation, could be meds, could be heart attack, etc.. The system won't care.
If the system flags a driver as being inattentive, the car could navigate to the side of the road/exit. System can ask driver if they need assistance - if driver agrees, system can call for help (e.g., ambulance); if driver refuses, car just stays put. Assuming this is the system behavior and technologically feasible, do people still object making this type of system mandatory? |

The cost of prevention in this case is likely exorbitant. Honestly. A 500 dollar piece of equipment in every vehicle in America? You are talking something in the order of a quarter billion dollars of cost. To save how many lives? Probably a lot fewer than you would think. The whole concept reeks of “if it just saves one live” flawed logic. |

Murf993 and Sedan_Clan:
Sedan, you may not know much about it since different country and all, but, what are your guys take on the feds proposing to do away with minimum sentences for crimes committed with firearms (first time, non violent, etc...not sure how non violent it is if you have a firearm but whatever)...they are suggesting that they do away with minimum sentences here (also same thing for drugs as I understand). In the next breath however, the same government also prohibited a bunch of firearms for legal owners who are law abiding citizens, and are continuing their efforts to make it harder and harder to own a gun in Canada (legally speaking anyway...if you are a criminal, its pretty easy and no minimum sentences if they have their way). It's messed up. IMO. |
