    Tldr I rant at hypothetical, you can safely skip this

    If I have a sensor, it’s getting removed. If there’s a camera or some such thing connecting to anywhere, it’s either removed or I simply won’t buy that car. Anything mandated by law for the end-user is getting bypassed and removed until there’s some sort of inspection for it.

    I don’t drink, at all. Never could stand the taste of alcohol. So anything mandated by law to make sure I’m not drinking and driving is simply an inconvenience, another barrier between a person and what is necessity to do anything in this country (no I don’t care that some people can personally get to your work, the store, and family with a 10 minute bus ride, that simply isn’t reality for anyone outside dense cities) and I’m pretty biased against government agencies raising the bar for things that mostly only affect poorer people.

    A rich dude will never need to worry about replacing a bad sensor, or what if the broken sensor trips again and I can’t drive to work again.

    The single mother of 3 in a rusting minivan, however, isn’t so lucky.
