Evidence

The article says NHTSA missed its deadline for the impaired-driving rule, got an extension, and is still evaluating more than 3,000 comments. It also says Scott Perry introduced the No Kill Switches in Cars Act in 2025.

As of late May 2026, the federal vehicle-technology rule was still in process and Perry's anti-kill-switch push had not produced a completed prohibition on federal funding or implementation.

Assessments

unresolved unknown A for effort

Section 24220 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act remains federal law and directs NHTSA to issue an impaired-driving technology safety standard, with a statutory extension/reporting path if the agency cannot finalize it on the original schedule. As of late May and June 2026, the rulemaking was still pending and there is no clear evidence that Congress enacted Perry's promised prohibition on using federal funds to implement section 24220. Available evidence indicates Perry took concrete action by introducing legislation against the requirement, but that effort had not yet changed the law or produced the promised funding ban. Because Perry is still in office and the matter appears ongoing rather than definitively dead, the safest judgment is unresolved rather than full failure.
