It seems it is legal for cars https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/new-law-will-install-kill-switches-in-all-new-cars/ar-AASt1Th

And it's already in use for some https://www.cbsnews.com/news/why-the-repo-man-can-remotely-shut-off-your-car-engine/

You know the first of those links is right wing propaganda, right? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/infrastructure-bill-track-drivers/

While there is no mention of a “kill switch” that could be accessible by law enforcement in the bill text, the legislation does not define exactly how the technology would limit impaired driving. Rather, the contents of the bill simply define the equipment to be a system that can:

Passively monitor the performance of a driver to accurately identify whether they are impaired.

Prevent or limit operation if impairment is detected.

“Passively” detect whether the BAC of a driver is equal to or higher than the legal limit. In such cases, the system could “prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected.”
