First the "anti drunk bill" is written far to vague to know what's going to come from it. I've seen predictions from everything like an automatic breathalyzer that is just less invasive than blowing into a straw every time to cameras that monitor the drivers awareness and yes the kill switch. Each have their drawbacks and potentials for abuse and failure.
Fortunately this isn't a worry for Camaros but I definitely see the possibility for abuse here.
As far as the idea of a kill switch, imagine if the trucks in the trucker protest in Canada had them, it was bad enough they shut down their bank accounts but now they can just kill the trucks that many were living in during the protest too, there goes the heat and power.
Another possibility is a cop using this as part of a speed trap, instead of chasing you down to pull you over he just kills your car, who knows what kind of damage that would cause to the car on top of losing power stearing/breaks.
Or how about an abuser using this to torment their victims.
I'm all for the police having what they need to do their jobs but this is just one of many steps too far. As far as not wanting a car with these features so buy one without, try finding one without seat belts, airbags, crumple zones, plastic bumpers, seatbelt chimes or a myriad of other "safty" features many didn't want as it drove the price of the cars up with sometimes negligible improvements to actual survivability in 99% of accidents and made the cars much more disposable.
