Sen. Ben Ray Lujan: strong supporter of automobile “kill switch”
There has suddenly been an upsurge in online discussion over the automotive “kill switches” that some manufacturers are putting into new cars. See post and video below. While ALL Democrats including NM’s congressional delegation (and some Republicans) in Congress voted to allow these “kill switches” (allowing the vehicle to be remotely disabled) Sen. Ben Ray Lujan was a particularly strident supporter. This site discussed it at the time and Rio Grande Foundation submitted public comment while also covered it at the time. Sadly, things are continuing to move in the direction of greater restrictions on your freedom.
Every new car in the U.S. will be required by law to have tech that puts constant surveillance on the driver by 2027.
