Oh, I fully agree the government should have full control of public roads.
They just shouldn't control my vehicle unless I've already demonstrated I cannot. It should never be a default-available thing for them to outright disable a large life investment that can quickly become a life saving device in any number of situations.
What if I am drunk camping and I'm the only adult driving a bunch of kids away from a sudden forest fire? Is the vehicle going to turn off? What if my panicked driving comes across as drunk and I'm actually sober? This entire concept is nothing but a bad idea.
I'm saying its literally set up such that they dont care what you want or prefer with reference to YOUR car, you feel me?
A.You have to go on public roads, B. public roads and everything in them are controlled by traffic laws/the government
C. you+your car will be controlled by same
Edit: the points i made are ok but a little salty, please disregard tone :(
