Someone took the time to read the relevant portion and provide a summary. So, why not provide a citation?

Here is a link to the text of the law: link.

Section 24209 seems to cover driver distraction but not the items described in the OP.
Because it’s obvious click-bait to rile up conservatives. The actual legislation is requesting carmakers to develop a way to detect impairment and prevent operation of the vehicle. It’s not a “back door” or anything even close to remote access but they know their average reader isn’t going to be sophisticated enough to google it to see if they are full of shit.

Even though it is just “find a way to keep drunk drivers from starting the car I feel it’s not likely something we would see any time soon. Thinking this is feasible in the near time is probably the result of a misunderstanding of the capabilities of what we are calling AI right now.
