  Why is remote access the intention? Should the device not verify the alchohol % locally and then mechanically allow the car to star or not? What part of that needs any form of remote oversight?

  Since disabling the vehicle remotely is kinda the express intention of this device

  Uhhh nope, there’s no reason for a remote connection.

    Interlocks are for people who have had a DUI, by your logic ankle monitors should not be able to be accessed remotely.

    Don’t break the law If you don’t want to be monitored by the state.
