Former Rep. Bob Barr, writing for The Daily Caller, calls the measure "disturbingly short on details", but for the fact that the proposed device must “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired.” Which, of course, is code for some kind of device that is constantly on and monitoring your vehicle - and will likely have the power to shut down your vehicle anytime it wants. "This is a privacy disaster in the making, and the fact that the provision made it through the Congress reveals — yet again — how little its members care about the privacy of their constituents," The Daily Caller writes. It appears that in President Biden's future, not only will you not be in charge of your own personal health decisions, but you also won't be in charge of whether or not you can fire up your car, which you bought with your hard-earned money, to drive it somewhere, when you deem fit. That decision will now "rest in the hands of an algorithm", the report says. Similar monitoring and control devices have faced constitutional opposition, the report notes, "notably with the 5th Amendment’s right to not self-incriminate, and the 6th Amendment’s right to face one’s accuser." Barr concludes: "Unless this regulatory mandate is not quickly removed or defanged by way of an appropriations rider preventing its implementation, the freedom of the open road that individual car ownership brought to the American Dream, will be but another vague memory of an era no longer to be enjoyed by future generations." Poster Comment: Yeah, I saw this coming when they started fooling around with self-driving vehicles. Put an alcohol sensor in the dash, then the system locks you in the car, disables ALL operator controls, then delivers you directly to the nearest jail. I didn't consider algos to just detect bad driving though. The possibilities are endless with the new technology. I think we're gonna need more jails. LET'S GO BRANDON!
