GRASSROOTS PETITION DEMANDS REPEAL OF FEDERAL VEHICLE KILL SWITCH MANDATE
1,000,000 Signature Goal Set as Americans Learn About Section 24220
[CITY] — [DATE] — A new grassroots petition is demanding Congress repeal Section 24220 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which mandates AI surveillance technology in every new passenger vehicle sold in America.
The petition, hosted at PayForMyGasOrKissMyAss.com, has set a goal of 1,000,000 signatures from Americans in all 50 states who oppose the mandate, which was buried in a 1,100-page bill with virtually no public debate.
KEY FACTS:
• Section 24220 mandates "advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology" in all new vehicles
• The technology includes passive monitoring cameras, biometric sensors, and AI behavioral analysis
• Systems can restrict or prevent vehicle operation based on algorithmic assessment
• NHTSA's own report (March 2026) admits no commercially available technology meets the mandate's standard
• Georgia Tech research estimates ~3,000 deaths from a single fleet-wide cyberattack on kill switch systems
• An amendment to defund Section 24220 failed 229-201 in January 2026
• The "No Kill Switches in Cars Act" (H.R. 1036) remains stalled in committee
CONCERNS RAISED:
• Privacy: Continuous surveillance with no data retention limits
• Due Process: Algorithm decides driving eligibility with no human oversight or appeal
• Cybersecurity: Networked kill switches create fleet-wide vulnerability
• Cost: Estimated $500-$2,500+ added per vehicle
• Rural Impact: 60 million Americans depend on vehicles with no transit alternatives
• Medical Emergency: False positives could immobilize vehicles during emergencies

NHTSA admits the kill switch technology doesn't exist yet.
But they're mandating it anyway.
And you'll pay $500-$2,500+ extra for it.
