In an effort to reduce drunk driving, government wants devices in cars that will monitor and limit impaired driving.
But there’s a big problem: these devices give government control over your car.
Automotive engineer and former vintage race car driver Lauren Fix points out the dangers in my video, above.
I'll stop being a conspiracy theorist when my government stops conspiring.
I dont think they are theories any more.
...you should have copyrighted that before posting.
That’s my favorite quote right now.
You're not a "conspiracy" theorist. You're a "things seem awfully suspicious" realist.
Genius! I'm totally stealing this btw, lol.
Repeal the 16th Amendment. Cut off the federal government's access to direct income taxes.
That only pays the interest on the money they print, it would help us but wouldn't slow down the government at all.
And so much more
good luck with that
just vote harder bro
End Federal Reserve too
do the 19th first or we will never make any progress.
also institute an IQ test before you get a ballot.
below 85 IQ doesnt need to direct the nation, they don't even understand whats going on
also a short civic/ history quiz, a current events quiz, and general questionnaire. if you dont know what month or year it is,
if someone does not know - for example- that an island cannot 'capsize like a canoe'
or if they don't know what a woman is, or if they
think that 'the moon is mostly made of gasses, and we are trying to figure out if we can live on those gasses'
NEVER NEEDS TO BE IN POWER
"You will be taxed a certain amount for each mile..."
*THIS IS ALREADY DONE BY THE FEDERAL GAS TAX!*
Exept, EVs don't pay gas taxes! Big Brother needs another form of money to combat racist roads build public transit systems that are expensive and waste money. My local transit system just received $1,000,000 from creepy Uncle Joe (actually, all us taxpayers) for electric buses. The problem is that most of the electricity produced were l live comes from natural gas. For those who aren't knowledgable in electricity production, only 40% of actual thermal energy is transformed into electricity. Thus it would be more efficient for them to purchase natural gas powered buses!

Best pay for the rest of the year before inflation doubles it.
500 a month..where can we buy cars for 500 a month? Im paying 200 a month for insurance already.
I already pay taxes to use the roads, my taxes helped build the roads. Now they want another tax for me to use the roads I've already been taxed for.
Plus gas taxes are already a mileage based tax. The more you drive the more gas you buy. But they're afraid of losing revenue because of electrics, so they're imposing more taxes.
@@marred2277 self imposed problem - better mpg or electric means less gas tax for them to swindle
Double dipping. Isn't that illegal?
Yes It's called Toll Roads.
@@marred2277Sounds like the educated idiots in government to me. Give you $7,500 to buy a EV then worry about not collecting gas tax.
How long till they shut your car off because they don’t like your politics or because you posted something they didn’t like on social media
As in Canada. AND they threatened to do the same thing in New York when there was a supposed Trucker's protest brewing in NYC.
Yup get off SM platforms. You waste all your time and brain energy on it while they make millions off you.
Obviously you said that thing we dislike because you were 'impaired'. Maybe you were drunk, high, or even mentally ill (they'll decide what that means). Maybe your thinking was influenced by disinformation or 'malinformation', that could be a form of impairment or also mental illness. We need to limit your ability to travel, because you could transmit these ideas to others... that's a disease as bad as COVID.
Only a mentally unstable person would ask such a question. You're clearly not in the right frame of mind to drive safely. [click]

I will never buy a new car because they are over priced junk. Now here is another reason to not buy.
Wouldnt be if govt and insurance didn't mandate auto makers add all this extra BS
Unfortunately, this is all on us. If we keep letting the Government have absolute power & authority, then our freedoms & rights will continue to disappear.
We have no control over the government in Washington.
And just because the government is passing it now, that doesn't mean manufacturers haven't already had this in there for years. You're data is their data. They sell it to insurance companies. They sell it to advertisers. They sell it to uncle sam.
Keeping track of you has been a piece of cake for 30 years. Do your tires have air pressure sensors? How do you think those relay information? You have 4 transmitters unique to your car that always broadcast and are very easy to pick up. Not to mention traffic cams, plate readers, and you wanna hear something extra creepy? You have assigned glitter that you shed everywhere. Not just DNA, but special blends of glitter in *everything* you own. That means when your buddy says something that reeeealy makes the state mad, or does something they really want to track him down for, he's gonna have your glitter on him so they know to watch you to find him. We're talking extra extra bad stuff though, like tell the truthiest truth outside of the prescribed sides and approved conspiracies.

"A mileage tax pays for the wear you put on the roads." So where did the money from the tire tax go? How about fuel taxes? Your regular municipal taxes?
These tax legislators are out of control.
Oh, that goes to other things or slush fund. How about all the money the gov’t fines corporations…where does that money go? US has a spend problem, not a collection problem.
That was my thought exactly.
Contrary to popular belief, not a single state in the U.S. pays for its roads via vehicle taxes (gas, tires, registration, etc.). They all supplement with sales, income, and general tax finds to cover the enormous cost of road building and maintenance. Engineers worked out during the Eisenhower administration that modern roads wear out almost entirely because of vehicle use, as calculated by the 4th power rule. I'll spare you the math, but several thousand bicyclists crossing a stretch of road do equal damage to the tax fund as a single typical American car with one person in it. Basically tire taxes suck, but don't actually cover the tremendous cost of roads.
@@SoybeanAKcommercial trucks pay mileage taxes already, so where does that money go?
@@SoybeanAKThen why is there diversions from that fund into non road projects in states like NY?
I smell bs

A few months ago my wife was pregnant, had pneumonia, and coughed hard enough to break a rib. I drove her to the ER at half the speed limit, in the middle of the night, driving around potholes, manhole covers and anything that might have made the slightest bump- and back, three hours later - and I'm a little disappointed with the local PD that I *wasn't* pulled over for suspicion of intoxication. Imagine someone having to drive themselves to the ER in such a state and their car shuts down.
That's why Pres. Coolidge said it's more important to stop bad laws than to pass good ones.
Laws are brought to life with hot air and ink, and killed with lives, fortunes, and honor.
So you’re driving down a desolate road with massive potholes, you keep going around the potholes and your car decides you’re drunk and stops you in the middle of nowhere while you call the police for hours wondering why they don’t GAF? Sounds great.
And since the whole state is a sensitive area you can't have a gun to protect yourself.
I drive on a few roads like this every day.
Not just that. The gov't can Epstien hundreds of non submissive Americans and make it look like accidents.
Sure, it will be illegal. But so was using the FEC and IRS to go after DNC's political enemies. But nobody was prosecuted.
Are you saying if the tech was good enough to allow you to miss potholes, you'd be ok with it?
Or you’re in heavy traffic, and suddenly your car cuts off? This stuff will get people killed.
I prefer dangerous freedom over government "safety"!
They the government does not need to know ANYTHING about me...
We DO NEED to know about government.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Rest assured, the kill switch will be misused.
The kill switch is not a good intention. These crooked politicians are not benevolent altruists.
Don't you mean properly used?
There are absolutely no good intentions here. If they *really* cared about saving lives then we would have extremely severe penalties for driving drunk. And I mean **DRUNK** not lightly buzzed.

There is no way to create a "perfect" society without the government controlling everyone and everything. We already have laws prohibiting driving under the influence.

You can't legislate morality, I'm sorry to the many people that have lost loved ones to drunk drivers but this is not the solution. This will only make more problems and further muddying the waters.

I remember a case in Illinois about 25 years ago when an illegal immigrant was driving a truck down the highway when an unsecured chunk of metal from his load fell off the truck and slid under a van full of children and caused the van to catch on fire. The children were killed and their parents were badly burned trying to rescue them. In response to this tragedy, the government decided to give illegal immigrants drivers licenses.

I already pay taxes based on how much I drive. There are state and federal taxes on every gallon of gas I buy. If I drive more, I pay more taxes. Done!
They want to go to mileage because electric cars don't buy gas so they can't be taxed the same. And cars get too good of gas mileage now they're not using as much gas as they used to
Exactly this.
They still keep mentioning rights? Lol. No such thing. They can do whatever they want. No consequences
There are natural rights. The Constitution was originally written to say when the coercive agency known as government can infringe upon them according to their own justification, and then explicitly states things they can't even according to their own rules. However, they started ignoring those rules as early as Washington by imposing direct taxes on goods, which the Constitution specifically prohibits for the federal government.
Same thing came to mind. I believe there's a right to free movement or something(I'm Canadian) but not what your vehicle does

The constitution is supposed to stop government overreach. But with them having qualified immunity and making amendments to the constitution to prevent them from dealing with prosecution. There is only 2 options. Vote the bad out and I don’t need to say the other. We need smaller government
Qualified Immunity was illegally created by the Judicial branch because they ALL wanted it...

@Benzley722 Where exactly does it say that in the Constitution? Youre confusing the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

It doesn't matter HOW FAR you go or how often. That's an ABSURD amount of power for the government to have.
Guilty until proven innocent...
...not even that, it's just "Guilty" without even the ability to challenge it.
We already pay taxes for the road damage, it's the federal fuel tax that's been in place for decades.
That pays only for the Interstate
States also tax fuel, TWICE, they have a fuel tax and then sales tax when you buy it…. They also tax you via vehicle “registration” every year, and then they tax you for owning the vehicle “property tax” , every year. Your car insurance premiums also have a tax added to them. You have to pay to get a drivers license or to renew your license. When you get your car inspected so you can pay to renew your vehicle registration, they tax your vehicle inspection. They tax the motor oil you put in your car 3 times, tax on the oil itself, sales tax on the oil , and tax on the service itself if you don’t do it yourself. Ever gotten a parking ticket ? Or any type of ticket pertaining to the operation (speeding, not wearing a seatbelt , didn’t use turn signal, etc.) or operational state of your vehicle (tail light, headlight, etc.) , that’s a tax. Then they tax you on the parts and labor to get it fixed…. If one actually sat back and thought about it and calculated all the taxes you pay, it makes you physically sick…
@@mikevader1988 Very well said. It's amazing that so many don't realize that multitude of taxes we pay.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Thank you for reporting on this, hopefully people listen.
How about the fact that Car Manufacturers are demanding that we the Comnsumer pay for all this crap that we never wanted in the first place!
Technically they can say you wanted it through your representatives, the guys who made it into law or the president who deemed it had to happen. Well, voting always has consequences and both winners and losers will be at the whim of the very government they created.
By voting for Democrats and Republicans who support such measures, you are in fact, approving them and saying you want them.
@@thomasjoseph5876 No, "my" representative does not represent me, nor did I vote for them. And note that both "parties" supported this abomination - and every other abomination.
@@gr-os4gdLOL Nice small word salad
Whether you like it or not, your "Representative" DOES represent you. They may not represent all or even none of your beliefs, but they are in fact, representing you based on your location.
If you actually had any reading comprehension skills you would have noticed my 4th and 6th words in my comment stated "Democrats" and "Republicans", respectively.
So, didn't my comment actually note that BOTH parties support these types of Bills???
In most cases, they do need the support of both parties in order to pass Congress and be signed into law by the President.
Granted, in some instances, one party can and does control all of Congress and the Presidency for short periods of time but even then, some of them will balk at supporting some Bills which they then need someone from the other party to assist them in getting them passed.
I feel like I am teaching you an Elementary level Civics Class which you should have learned in 4th grade.
All costs get passed on to the consumer, regardless of what it is.
So next time they tell everyone to stay inside for 2 years they can turn your cars off
OMG stop exaggerating. It was only 2 weeks to flatten the curve. It just seemed like 2 years because it was 24 months
@@longarmsgiraffe0955 whew, I feel sooo much better now that you’ve explained it and backed it up with statistics and facts and science. Thank you!
The headline should read: "The Growing Threat of Government" and stop there.
I still dont understand how in this day and age people can STILL think everything the government does in our best interest and not the people on top's best interest.
This is disgusting
gee i wonder why the used car market is so hot and the new market having issues...
A large portion of the government needs to be put on "Time out" in the corner!
Evil politicians
The government is just words on paper. It does nothing. You've been fooled by thinking the government is people
Not a large ,the WHOLE GVNMT
1776
95% would be a great start. Also ban the Govt employees form using Computers. Make them go back to pencil in triplicate.
Defund government!
Ignoring the infringement of freedoms, the worst part about this is hands down how inaccurate and annoying it will be. There will be so many false alarms from icy roads, animals darting in front, accident avoidance, you name it - that it will be a headache. It will cause people to drive like old men and life will be that much more horrible.
I'm as disgusted as anyone, but there's a large majority of our fellow Americans who keep voting these people into office. Worse yet, it's getting to the point in our country where party is just a descriptor given to us to make us think we have a choice when in reality, they all stroke off their egos, along with special interest groups/companies, as they fill their bank accounts.
I’m really starting to wonder if “WE” actually are voting them in.
I do wonder about this.. Republican or Democrat, does it matter? I don’t really know. I will say though, progressive Democrats REALLY love mandates.. so I can just see more and more and more of that coming down the line with Biden and friends.. and of course, you don’t want to vote for that mean old nasty Trump, he’ll destroy democracy, right?! I don’t like Trump, but… would Trump still allow this stuff go on and actively push for it? Who would say no to it?
Your very intelligent and correct. And unfortunately Capitalism brings greed like poo brings flies. Humans are destined to bicker and steal from each other till the bitter end.
@@barpatronIf you've walked the streets in a blue city, you'll know that those people exist, and outnumber us.
The useless have always outnumbered the useful
The illusion of choice. They give you two people to vote for, neither are worthy, and both owned by the same interests.
