Let's all take it down a notch. Trying to save lives is a good goal. Compared to those other things? An order of magnitude more human and sensible.

The entire point of this article is that other news sources and “fact checkers” are being obtuse (or simply lying) to deny the fact that a kill switch has been called for.
This is typical Overton window bullshit; “no, no, that’s not what they want to do,” and of course five years later it’s completely apparent that indeed we have implicit (and probably even explicit) kill switches in cars.
More importantly, freedom violations should be treated as seriously and physical injuries and even deaths, it really is that important. The mild safety gain is worth the loss of your rights.
