@briankrebs I dunno this seems kind of horrible? A lot of people's lives would be dramatically upended if they were suddenly unable to start their cars.

@jik @briankrebs The fewer cars on the road, the fewer deaths. Win-win.

Who thought this was a good solution in the first place? Drunk drivers should lose their licenses for a few years, at least. Period. Tech can't solve a policy failure, even when it works. -

Silly question, I _know_... But why the hell would one of these need to communicate with the network?
If it's fitted to your vehicle it _won't_ start without a good test.
The point of control is _at the car_.
AITA?

@a2_4am It's consistent with my belief that we routinely let drunk drivers back on the road via a variety of too lenient enforcement schemes. DUI should IMO lead to automatic license suspension for a meaningful amount of time, several years.
