Looking at the text of the bill, my guess is that auto companies will do something basic like track how erratic your steering or braking is. More invasive would be tracking eye movement and pupil dilation.
I would not be surprised if it gets challenged in court and struck down as unconstitutional, if the methods of implementing it are too invasive. What happens if you need to drive someone to the hospital, but your car locks you out because it incorrectly detects that you are "driving impaired?"
Then again, historically courts have ruled that driving is a privilege and not a right, and you have a lowered expectation of privacy while in a vehicle... so tyranny may prevail here regardless.
The question is, what is supposed to happen if it detects these things? Slam on the brakes and cause an accident? Send a notice to local police, where it sits on a pile with other notices for every shitty driver in the area?
