E312. The Law That Lets the Government Kill Your Car - Dumpster Fire

There's a kill switch being built into every new car in America by 2027 — and both parties voted for it with a smile. Bridget breaks down the AI that decides if you're too emotional to drive, why the mandatory seatbelt law was always a slippery slope, and how the surveillance state got built — not by the government, but by us, one smart home device and ignored terms of service at a time. The Alexa, the Ring doorbell, the face scan to unlock your phone — we handed all of it over for the sake of convenience. Don't worry though, you can opt out. You just won't be able to participate in society. Supreme Court case Chatrie v.
