A Kill Switch In New Cars Now Gives Government Your Keys and RINOs Just Deleted the One Man Who Tried to Stop It

Subaru owners are fighting their own cars this week – and losing.

What's happening in those cockpits right now is just the free sample.

Starting next year, every new vehicle rolling off American assembly lines comes with a government-controlled kill switch that will make Subaru's cameras look like a courtesy light.

Biden Buried a Kill Switch in Every New Car and Most Americans Have No Idea

Subaru just rolled out a system that takes control of your car the moment it decides you're not paying attention.

That rollout is drawing national outrage – but Subaru is only the preview.

Deep inside the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Biden signed Section 24220 into federal law without a word of public debate about what it actually does.

Starting with 2027 models, every new passenger vehicle sold in America must include technology that monitors your eyes, your head position, your pupil size, and your driving behavior – and can refuse to start your car or shut it down while you're driving.

The Law 57, 47-Supported RINOs Voted for But Thomas Massie Stood Up Against

The New York Post broke down what the mandate actually requires: infrared cameras running continuously, behavioral tracking tied to an automotive cloud, and a kill switch built into your dashboard before you ever touch the ignition.

No breathalyzer. No traffic stop. No conversation with a police officer.

Your car decides.

Harry Maugans, CEO of Privacy Bee, told the Post exactly where that data goes: "A handful of large automakers take this behavioral data and, buried in your terms of service, you give permission for the automakers to sell it."

The buyers? Insurance companies – who use it to raise your premiums without ever telling you why.

General Motors Already Ran This Playbook

This isn't speculation about what might happen.

General Motors already did it.

The FTC banned GM from sharing driver data for five years in January 2025 after the company harvested acceleration, braking, and GPS information through OnStar without proper consent and sold it to LexisNexis – which packaged it into risk scores that insurance companies used to raise rates.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called it unlawfully collecting drivers' private data.

That was location and braking data.

The 2027 mandate hands automakers your eye movements, your pupil dilation, and your biometric patterns – data far more intimate than anything OnStar ever captured.

And no federal law currently requires automakers to disclose how that biometric information is stored, shared, or deleted.

Sadly, among those 57 RINOs who opposed Massie’s amendment to get rid of the car kill switch, 18 of them were endorsed by President Trump in recent elections, including: Don Bacon, Mike Bost, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Juan Ciscomani, Jen Kiggans, Darin LaHood, Nick LaLota, Mike Lawler, Brian Mast, Dan Meuser, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Celeste Maloy, Maria Elvira Salazar, David Schweikert, Pete Stauber, Claudia Tenney, Derrick Van Orden, and Zach Nunn.

Worse, he campaigned rabidly against Massie for some reason and now the most conservative member of Congress will be replaced by either a Democrat or a candidate who is effectively a Democrat.

Subaru Is Just the Field Test

The fury erupting over Subaru's EyeSight system tells you exactly how Americans will respond when this goes nationwide.

Drivers report the system triggering relentless alerts from a momentary glance at a dashboard control.

The 2026 Outback's Emergency Stop Assist with Safe Lane Selection goes further: if the car decides you're unresponsive, it issues escalating warnings, takes control of the steering, moves the vehicle to the shoulder, and contacts emergency services – all without your input.

Subaru markets this as safety technology.

Drivers are calling it what it is: a car that overrules you.

That's one manufacturer, on select models, sold voluntarily to customers who chose to buy them.

In 2027, there is no choice.

The NHTSA admitted to Congress in a 2026 report that the underlying technology isn't even ready – that a system operating at 99.9% accuracy would still generate millions of false positives every year.

A diabetic driver misread as impaired. A tired parent locked out of their own car.

The mandate rolls out anyway.

Biden Built the Infrastructure to Ground You at Home

The open road has always been the last reliable escape hatch from government intrusion.

No cameras on the highway. No one logging where you went on a Tuesday afternoon. No one watching your face while you drive to church.

Biden killed that.

He didn't need a vote on surveillance. He didn't need a debate about privacy. He buried the kill switch in an infrastructure bill and signed it while America was arguing about supply chains.

Democrats aren't done. In Massachusetts, they have advanced legislation aimed at restricting how many miles residents can drive – tying climate targets to caps on personal vehicle travel.

That's not a slippery slope. That's a blueprint – and Biden signed the first piece of it while America was arguing about supply chains.
