Car manufacturers are taking steps to comply with these provisions by working on implementing alcohol detection technology in their vehicles. Some car companies, such as Volvo and Ford, have already announced plans to include this technology in their cars by 2024. Other manufacturers are also exploring similar technologies or partnerships with companies that specialize in alcohol detection technology.

However, the implementation of such technology raises concerns about personal privacy and data protection. Drivers have a reasonable expectation of privacy inside their vehicles, and the collection of sensitive personal data, such as video footage and location data, requires proper consent and notification.

There will be some form of technology collecting data while a driver is in the car's interior. The interior of the car is considered a place with a reasonable expectation of privacy even under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. New York v. Class, 475 U.S. 106, 114-115 (1986).

The language of the RIDE Act bill states the following: To require the Secretary of Transportation, acting through the Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, to prescribe a Federal motor vehicle safety standard for advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology, and for other purposes.

“For other purposes” is disturbing language because it attempts to provide a wide-net of oversight. In other words, anyone who drives a car would be under the surveillance technology of the bill. But the bill states the following: Technical capability.–Any advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology required for new passenger motor vehicles under subsection (a) that measures blood alcohol concentration shall use the adult legal limit for blood alcohol concentration of the jurisdiction in which the passenger motor vehicle is located.

Does that mean breathalyzers for every new car? facial scanning technology? Something else? Likely some combination of both.

Who has access to the data collected by this system provided for in this legislation? Will the police be given access to the data without a warrant? What about insurance companies, will they be granted access to the data in order to better understand what kind of driver is being insured, or worse, will they know with what frequency your driving habits “change” which could then be interpreted as impairment?

When it comes to “driving prevention,” are we looking at the vehicle being locked in Park while running? Or will it not run at all? Soon enough the United States federal government could force automakers to install kill switches authorities can access and use to shut down any newer vehicle.
The kill switch, which is referred to as a safety device, must “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired.” What does that actually mean? It means government agencies will constantly be monitoring how you drive and measuring whether you are a threat to the public safety. But should you do something the system programming has deemed to recognize as driver impairment, your vehicle could find itself just shut off at a push of a button, which could be incredibly dangerous.

And returning back to legal interpretations, who defines and decides what the term "impaired driving" means? Currently it isn't defined by any legislation so does that leave that open regulators of the NHTSA or the DOT? Can you imagine the extent of algorithms written because you chose to pass someone or got to close to the line separating the lanes in a moment of brief distraction?

Mandatory breath tests should be conducted for every Congressman to be allowed into any Govt session. We have way too much legislation that must have been created by drunk lawmakers.

[sparklander]

They ought to mandate all politicians get mandatory cognitive tests.

[leeretaschen]

This is not about reducing drunk driving or keeping you safe. This is about surveillance and control.

[WolfPointOutfitters]

There is a group of people out there who believe “if you’re not doing anything wrong why are you worried about it” these people are the biggest threat to our country

[rateyesmertz]

They ought to pass a bill into law that requires congressment both state and Federal to take a breathalyzer before they can cast a vote.

[Tacotruck]

It all started with the Patriot Act. If you give up your freedoms for safety, you deserve neither.

[jameshanna]

The really scary aspect of this law is the precedent it makes for spying on citizens in places where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If they can install mandatory monitoring systems in our cars, then they could just as easily 'justify' installing monitoring systems in our homes. This law needs to be strangled in the crib.

[sonnyinaz]

anyone in congress that passes a bill like this needs to be removed from congress.

[GrimGianni]

This isn't about drunk driving, it's about government sticking their noses into the lives of the citizens. This will be used to enforce laws outside of drunk driving, and will leave citizens with no place to have privacy whatsoever. This is another step of tyranny against the citizens, and should be opposed on all fronts. ANY company that abides by this should be boycotted to the fullest extent.

[avgjoegeek]

They should make it mandatory to do a complete financial and personal audit of anyone running for Congress - then do it every quarter while they are in office. Have to explain where every dime they receive is accounted for.

I work for a school bus company, last year they implemented these Lytx cameras on all their buses that have AI algorithms that constantly tells you you’re doing things wrong, it has this annoying speaker on it with a shrill female voice they everyone at the company (except the higher ups) has come to hate. And the major problem with it is it’s wrong 90% of the time. It tells you you’re following the vehicle in front of you too closely when you come to a stop sign or a red light, it’s even said that when we were on an empty road, it tells you you’re speeding whenever you pass an exit on the highway because the GPS shows you as being on the street next to the on or off ramps, it’s claimed we’ve ran stop signs where there were no stop signs, and most hilariously when we’re at the company base it picks up the stops signs on the buses that are parked there and tells us we ran through them. What makes all this not so funny though is it send a real-time message to the office taddling on us. Implementing crappy AI algorithms like this into every car in the country is not gonna go well, especially if people start getting traffic tickets mailed to them for things they didn’t do. Everyone will be getting them, constantly.

[MediocreRebel]

First the RESTRICT ACT, now the dystopian future hidden inside the "infrastructure" bill. Never trust the government if they say theyre doing something for "national security reasons."

[hollibuchanan]

These politicians who came up with this BS are a threat to public safety! We need to get rid of everyone of them! This is outrageous and totally unconstitutional!

[margaretnorton]

Only politicians should have mandatory daily breath tests and weekly drug tests . They should also have IQ tests and polygraphs regularly. They should be audited constantly. The results should be posted publically

[mikehaas]

Hey Jeff--- NO person who works in a hospital or health care facility will NEVER pass the touch button! Hand Sanitizer is 90% alcohol! To quote a movie, This is very bad ray VERY BAD!

[BadMonkeyMike]

All police, CIA, FBI, DEA, ICE and all other government officers should have mandatory breath test before reporting for duty, and then every 4 hrs while on duty. Judges should do this before taking the bench, and congress and the senate should also have mandatory breathalyzer test every 4 hrs while working.

[pappaflammyboi]

All laws should be applied to all politicians first for several years, before it can be applied to the general public.

[Sherrybaybee]

It’s not about drunk driving…it’s about control

[joshm]

What happens when vehicle is used for overnight camping, and you drink a few beers, and start the engine to charge battery or heat up vehicle before going to sleep? What happens when doing oil change or repairs, and have a beer (NOT going to drive on public roads) and re-position vehicle on private property, as needed for the work?

[MrGizmo]

Wow, considering that 84 of our legislators have been caught for drunk driving in the past year, we need to replace ALL of them! We hire them to conduct commerce for the country, not create laws that violate OUR rights! Such hypocrites!
