It’s a law that forces your device to monitor you. Is there currently an equivalent?
People had a problem with Apple monitoring CSAM on their phones. But monitoring blood alcohol in cars gets a pass.
It’s not quite the same, because the phone would report you to authorities rather than shutting itself off. But in modern times, it seems unlikely that the data will remain on the car. Which means if someone somehow gets ahold of the data, they can easily drag you on social media if your car ever detected any alcohol.
(Personally, I’m undecided.)
- TeMPOraL 3y agoCSAM isn't just an arbitrary violation of law in context of phone monitoring. A false positive on CSAM detection won't just "report you to authorities". It will straight up ruin your life. In terms of false positives, you'd be better off with a car that cuts off your hand when it detects alcohol in your breath, than with a CSAM scanner. The impact of losing a limb on your life will likely be less than having a mere suspicion of you perusing CSAM go around in the community.

- TeMPOraL 3y agoFair. My point is more about this line from sillysaurusx's comment: > People had a problem with Apple monitoring CSAM on their phones. But monitoring blood alcohol in cars gets a pass. I.e. the objection would be fine if it was "Apple monitoring ${X} on their phones" for most values of X, but for X=CSAM, this is a qualitatively different issue - false positives are life-destroying, and you'd be at risk just by having an iPhone - a far more common situation than finding yourself in the middle of nowhere in a Russian winter.
