You can't honestly believe that mass surveillance will help prevent those deaths, right?
It won't. It'll be used punitively.
Until we actually know what the implementation looks like you're just talking out of your ass and have no right to be condescending.
The entire story is that the NHTSA is obligated to make rules for the implementation of impairment detection. It absolutely does not follow that 'obviously it won't detect impairment'
If the cameras and tracking systems inside cars don't stop them, why will this one?
By preventing engine startup or with a very low speed limiter presumably.
