NHTSA docket NHTSA-2022-0079 is the rulemaking record. If NHTSA opens another comment period, this is where public comments matter.
Hello, my name is [your name], and I live in [city, state]. I am calling about mandatory in-car driver monitoring and operation-limiting technology.
I support stopping drunk driving, but I oppose universal vehicle surveillance, driver-facing cameras, behavior scoring, and any system that can limit my vehicle without due process.
Please support repeal or strict civil-liberties limits: no remote shutoff, no law-enforcement access without a warrant, no data sale to insurers or brokers, independent accuracy testing, and a clear appeal path for sober drivers wrongly blocked.
Please send me the office position on H.R. 1137, the No Kill Switches in Cars Act, and any privacy legislation protecting connected-car data.
Subject: Oppose universal in-car surveillance and operation-limiting mandates
Dear [Representative/Senator],
I support strong action against drunk and impaired driving. I do not support forcing every new passenger vehicle to passively monitor drivers, score behavior, collect sensitive data, or limit vehicle operation without strict civil-liberties protections.
NHTSA has acknowledged that key technology is not ready for a nationwide mandate and that false positives could affect millions of trips. Connected-car data abuse is already a real problem, including geolocation and driving behavior data being shared with third parties.
Please support legislation that repeals or freezes any universal mandate unless Congress first passes hard protections: no remote shutoff, warrant requirements for vehicle data, no sale to insurers or data brokers, no biometric or cabin recording by default, independent accuracy testing, and a meaningful appeal path.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
[City, State]
