A glass of wine isn’t drunk driving. The concern is allowing a computer to make what could amount to life a death decisions. I’m sure you can imagine that there are lots of people who live in different situations than you. Waiting for an ambulance might take several hours or may simply not show up. How about that it may cost several thousand dollars? What happens when your fancy kill switch simply malfunctions and kills a car in a life and death location like a desert in the summer. Please try to account for more than a suburban environment when passing national laws. This is the kind of nanny law that pushes people to plug their nose and vote for the other guy. Edit: then to than |

Then it's unlikely your car will count it as such.

Your car does this continually. Should it fire the airbags? Tension the seatbelts? Engage the antilock brakes? Oops, one wheel is slipping, adjust power to the others.

The same thing that happens if the starter or fuel pump or battery fails.

That's the evergreen threat of the folks who always find a reason to vote for the other guy anyways.
