Fact check: No, there's no vehicle 'kill switch' in Biden's 2021 infrastructure bill
www.usatoday.com
Automobile\u00a0experts told USA TODAY that the 2021 infrastructure bill does not require a kill switch to be implemented in cars.

Yes, it says it’s false. Here’s the pertinent line:

identifies whether they may be impaired and prevents or limits motor vehicle operation “if an impairment is detected.”

That’s called a killswitch.

On the law itself, it’s Section 24220 - b - 1 - a - ii AND 24220 - b - 1 - b - ii

Just a reminder that fact checkers blatantly lie, and will even tell you they’re lying. It takes like two minutes to fact check laws like this.

    It’s quite literally the 2nd paragraph of the article:

    “Beginning 2026, a kill switch will be a mandatory feature on vehicles,” reads the tweet. “The device allows the government, the police, and car makers to disable your car from the comfort of their offices. Reminder - 18 GOP voted for this bill.”
