WKYT Investigates | The deadly cost of convenience

“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.

It went nowhere.

Instead, a page on NHTSA’s website warns about leaving keyless cars running without the fob inside.

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.”
