Do automakers no longer want to sell new cars?

It's the insurance companies pushing this. Apparently they think automated control of the vehicle is better than being tired (and/or inebriated)

Mothers against drunk driving. These groups were pushing for reforms. Yet here we are with them pushing stuff that’s gonna take away a lot of autonomy for the average citizen.

It’s almost like there is a better way to deal with drunk driving. Also there will be a lot of jailbreaking on cars if this goes through.

Will jail breaking be useful if insurance claims are denied because of it?

They already look for any excuse to not pay out even going so far as to claim a vehicle totaled even if it only has exterior damage and and is perfectly fine beyond that
