## Resource

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, cars getting shut down by the government is a fear going viral. Republicans are trying to stop the rule behind it. The push centers on a provision in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act requiring federal regulators to develop technology that can detect impaired driving in new vehicles, as well as prevent or limit operation when impairment is detected. The fight comes as lawmakers are already clashing over surveillance powers tied to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), with privacy concerns driving divisions inside Congress.
