General Motors, maybe?

If it is mandated that all cars should have this killswitch, then a lot of old-but-serviceable cars have to be taken off the road - and replaced with new ones.

Of course the mandate won't apply to existing vehicles, just like every other new safety requirement didn't take all the old vehicles off the road.
