On February 3, 2026, President Trump signed Public Law 119-75, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, which preserved funding for Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This mandate requires all new passenger vehicles starting with model year 2027 to include advanced impaired driving prevention technology that passively monitors drivers and can disable vehicles if impairment is detected.
The House rejected Rep. Thomas Massie's defunding amendment 164 to 268 on January 22, with 57 Republicans joining 211 Democrats to keep the mandate funded. The No Kill Switches in Cars Act, introduced by Rep. Scott Perry to repeal Section 24220 outright, has a 2 percent chance of passing committee according to GovTrack analysis.
Two technologies under development through the DADSS program include breath-based sensors using infrared analysis and touch-based systems using tissue spectroscopy to measure blood alcohol through skin contact. After 18 years of development, NHTSA told the Associated Press in February 2026 it is still assessing developing technologies, and Congress is advancing a bill offering a $45 million prize for the first consumer-ready system.
Former Congressman Bob Barr identified critical privacy concerns including always-on monitoring, vehicle control access for disabling, and backdoor access for third parties. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation warned regulators that even a 1 in 10,000 false positive rate would strand thousands of unimpaired drivers daily. Vehicle telematics abuse is already documented in court: GM settled with the FTC over sharing driving data with brokers, Toyota faces a Wiretap Act class action in Texas, and Allstate's subsidiary Arity was caught collecting driving data from 40 million mobile connections every 15 seconds through unrelated apps.
