40,000 deaths per year is worse than needing to give up some privacy for access to public roads. 99% of people are fine with giving up more privacy for a hell of a lot less. In the abstract it sucks but in a society that has given up on the concept of privacy at least it’s being applied for something other than targeted advertising.
People that really give a shit can continue to use old cars or other means of transportation.
Until we actually know what the implementation looks like you’re just talking out of your ass and have no right to be condescending.
The entire story is that the NHTSA is obligated to make rules for the implementation of impairment detection. It absolutely does not follow that ‘obviously it won’t detect impairment’

You can’t honestly believe that mass surveillance will help prevent those deaths, right?
It won’t. It’ll be used punitively.

Can you describe an example of detailed mass surveillance that has not been used against us?
Can you explain how this tech that doesn’t exist will be used against you?
This regulation, which doesn’t exist but was due to be implemented, is not meaningfully different than requiring a passive breathalyzer interlock.
If the cameras and tracking systems inside cars don’t stop them, why will this one?
By preventing engine startup or with a very low speed limiter presumably.
And how do they know you’re drunk? Cameras? Mandatory blood samples?
That’s the thing from the article they linked to. NHTSA says the tech does not exist yet, hence why they are asking for an extension.
Demanding the specifics of what can be broadly understood is a waste of time.
Yeah man fuck reality you’ve got the world in your head where you can imagine stuff that doesn’t exist to get mad at
