The following report is from The Byte:
Engine Lock
In the near future, you may need to prove to your car that you’re sober before you’re allowed to take the wheel.
Buried on page 1,066 of the newest version of the infrastructure bill currently being debated by Congress is a provision, spotted by Motherboard, that says every new car built from 2027 onward would need to include some sort of monitoring system to catch anyone trying to drive with alcohol in their system. It’s an interesting idea for how the automotive industry could take a more active role in preventing drunk driving, but as Motherboard notes, there’s some reason to be skeptical of alcohol-detecting tech currently under development.
Deep Breath
Right now, the breathalyzers that can be attached to drunk driving offenders’ cars have a low but non-zero error rate, Motherboard notes. If everyone in the country had to blow into one to start their vehicle, the publication’s back-of-the-envelope math suggests that there would be millions of false positives keeping people from where they need to go per day.
But that doesn’t seem to be what the infrastructure bill is calling for. The draft legislation doesn’t refer to any program or tech by name, but Motherboard notes that it does seem to imply future adoption of technology that’s currently under development by the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety Program (DADSS), an amalgam of various government and industry agencies collaborating on the problem.
DADSS is working on two passive systems meant to catch drunk drivers in the act. One monitors the air inside a car for whiffs of alcohol, and the other measures blood alcohol levels through the driver’s skin when they press the car’s engine button.
Right now, DADSS’ breath sensor seems to operate on an all-or-nothing basis — it detects the presence or absence of alcohol rather than being able to accurately determine whether the driver’s blood alcohol concentration is above the specific legal limit. But the organization says it’s working on upgrades that will make the tech both more accurate and less intrusive, so hopefully it will be ready by the potential 2027 rollout date.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[13] Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. [14] But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.Romans 13:13-14
Obviously I am not for drunkenness, but this is once again another example of control and oppression, where every and all actions of the broad masses will be controlled in the future, as The WinePress has noted that on many occasions.

And go figure: more mitigation and control is buried deep in legislature that has nothing to do with infrastructure.
For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
Proverbs 28:2
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
Proverbs 12:24
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I just got a 2003 pickup. I would not ever buy a new car/truck. Furthermore, I do not want anything that reports on me, that can be remotely turned off etc… This one HAD ad cell connect to GM, I cut it.
I remember hearing of people failing a drug test if the had poppy seed bagels the same day as the test. After someone check it, turn out 25% of the test would show positive for it. I could just see some guy/girl using mouth wash in the AM and hop in the car to go to work, bam! I am sorry, you have had too much to drink!
Furthermore, I have a better idea, how bout one that check to see if you are registered to vote. “I am sorry, you have poor judgment…” ROFL
Back to cash, back to low tech, back to the KJV, time to get REAL folks. Let’s not lose what little humanity we have left.

Yeah I know what you mean. That “EcoBoost” crap they use in these cars now are so stupid. It costs thousands of dollars just for the stupid ignitor part, to then only shut down the car at a stoplight for 10 seconds. Moreover, all these care cannot run without a computer chip anymore. Just imagine if an EMP bomb or “cyber attack” occurs…
Precisely why I like very old vehicles.
The tyrants in governmental positions need to feel some wrath from God, or they will keep trying to take more of our freedoms. They are all little servants of Satan, with their greatest desire being to be worshiped as “gods”, by knowing all that their “peasants” are doing at all times. May the wrath of almighty God fall upon them and their homes!
