🚨🚨URGENT: STOP THE KILL SWITCH — VOTE YES on Cloud Amendment 🚨🚨

Call or Email: Please vote ‘yes’ on the Cloud Amendment to the 2027 THUD bill to defund the kill switch.

1) Constitutional concerns: ‘Passive monitoring’ of every American driver without a warrant violates our 4th amendment rights. This isn’t about preventing drunk driving; it’s about government control. It could be weaponized for any purpose: like imposing a lockdown, climate emergency, or reducing cars on the road.

2) Safety concerns: NHTSA’s own report to Congress acknowledges this technology is dangerous (anytime you cut power to a car, it’s extremely dangerous), and could cause more accidents.

FHWA’s own data shows one of the top reasons for road delay is ‘incidents.’ Kill switch incidents will litter our highways with disabled cars, many of which are not impaired but got flagged by some AI algorithm and are now stranded and will need some government official to re-enable their vehicles.

3) Cost impacts: Imagine the cost for first responders to get millions of calls per day for false flag kill switch incidents?

Also, NHTSA has yet to report how much this technology will add to the cost to our vehicles. If just the start-stop switch added $5,000, passive monitoring of lane, eyes, breath, emotional state, will be exponentially more expensive with the cameras, sensors, AI and data centers necessary to collect every driver’s telematic data, telegraph it to some government central office & make such a determination.

The kill switch violates our 4th amendment rights, creates massive new safety concerns (in the name of preventing drunk driving), and costs too much putting the cost of cars more out of reach for an already economically distressed nation.

Support the Cloud Amendment to defund the kill switch!
