The car kill switch, also known as the kill switch law or the 'no-kill' law, has been a contentious issue in the United States Congress. The law requires all new vehicles to be equipped with an automatic emergency braking system that can prevent accidents and save lives.

However, some lawmakers have expressed concerns about the potential impact on vehicle safety and security. Others have argued that the law could compromise individual freedoms and privacy.

Despite these divisions, Congress has chosen to keep the car kill switch alive, paving the way for widespread adoption of this life-saving technology. The decision is seen as a major victory for safety advocates, who have been pushing for stricter regulations on vehicle safety features.
