better to just have it the way it is now, and that is a device one has to blow into, in order to start the vehicle.
once something like this "kill switch" is mandated, there goes the cost of the vehicle, cuz, we all know the manufactures do nothing for free. this "could add" as much as $1,000 per vehicle.
also, this goes to diagnostic time and charges, and replacement parts, especially out of warranty.
i say then, that if the Feds get their way and pass this BS..??
then make all the parts, and diagnostic time payable by the government, since it was their idea.
as it is now, all cars built since the late 1980's have a "black box", and now too, GPS/satellite capabilities that can be very easily accessed via court order/warrant.
what's next, all new tv sets, must have a camera and audio so we can be spied on..???
Orwell, wasn't that far off, now was he..???

not only that, but, the "tax man" will also be able to assess mileage taxes, if we buy gasoline over the state lines, if taxes there are cheaper.
too many things that the feds can impose on us.

There is already precedence for this - they did it once and they can do it again. They rammed emission controls down our throats in the late 60's by making it impossible to renew your auto registration unless you had a "smog certificate" to prove the device(s) had been installed. Naturally this gave birth to an emerging marketplace for counterfeit certificates. At the same time automakers could not produce vehicles without emission controls in place.
