Presumably it'd be monitored by law enforcement. I'm describing this as a system that would allow the totalitarian "you don't actually own your own things any more" thing that the proponents of this law are champing eagerly at the bit to implement while avoiding the "you need to escape a wildfire immediately but the car thinks you're a little too eager on the gas pedal" scenario. Not as a system that I would in any way like or support.
Elsewhere in the thread someone mentioned that the proposed rules wouldn't prevent individuals from disabling this kill switch entirely, much like it's technically legal for an individual to remove the seatbelts or airbags or whatever from their own car. I would grudgingly accept a law like that as the absolute worst thing that I would actually be willing to accept, provided the kill switch actually was disableable and not locked behind stuff that would blow up the car if you took it out.

if that’s the stated goal, instead of justifying ever more surveillance
