Dubious for sure, but the actual rule is pretty horrible too. You're telling me new cars will be monitoring me while I drive, determining if I'm impaired on its own, and potentially shutting itself off if it thinks I am? Beyond the huge privacy concern, do we really believe this tech will work for 100% of people?

Cars have lane assist and auto braking technology these days, could be as simple as it being impossible to deactivate these things if the car thinks you're drunk.
