OP article is from 2021 and is news this week because the House recently voted(1) to reaffirm the mandate that automakers include equipment in all vehicles by 2026 to detect driver impairment and automatically disable vehicles when it is detected

If it's news, why isn't it in the news with a reasonable source? Most proposed regulation is OT-ish on HN and most proposed regulation takes a lot longer to turn into reality than originally scheduled.

One might leave the answer for why the only articles covering this regulation in mainstream sources are fact checking misinterpretations of the law (as opposed to a headline with what the law actually says) as a worthwhile exercise for the reader

Posting an old news article without year to slide in your unpostable URL is just lame, not any kind of exercise for the reader.
