The author's article goes on to enumerate and sensationalize various big brother scenarios. But if we take it on the face of the quote...
"passively monitoring the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired," it appears to be a way to disable a vehicle for those driving under the influence. Not that I agree w/the intervention.
I've recently learned that some DUI individuals purchase electric bicycles to get around to the bars b/c they are not a regulated vehicle like a scooter.
May want to read the
Data Memory section of the owner's manual.
Just one small excerpt.
