Why Mechanics Are Begging You To Avoid 2026 Cars | The Kill-Switch Mandate

Why Mechanics Are Begging You To Avoid 2026 Cars | The Kill-Switch Mandate The 2026 car kill switch mandate is already law — and Congress just voted to keep it. Buried inside the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is Section 24220, a federal mandate requiring every new vehicle to detect driver impairment and shut itself down. No police officer.
