“New technology has led to quieter engines and keyless ignitions in cars. But at what cost?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration proposed a rule in 2011 to address carbon monoxide concerns stemming from keyless cars running unintentionally.

A bill filed last year in Congress – the PARK IT Act – would require regulators to finalize rules for automatic shut-off systems, but the bill never made it out of committee.”
