>This is a terrible description of what the law actually does.

You just repeated what the title says: they want to implement a mandatory kill switch in your car.

The fact that you believe it will be used for good, and will be "accurate" is certainly up for debate. I don't want them to be able to lock down my car and prevent it from being used. That scenario is unimaginable to me.

It also sounds very heavy handed.

Here these kinds of devices already exist but you have to be a convicted drunk driver to get one mandated. It sounds pretty severe to have this for everyone.
