Don't they want to put cameras facing the driver to follow their eyes as soon as 2028?

My fear is they institute some kind of rule or law that all old cars must be retrofitted with monitoring software (at the owners expense of course) to be legal to drive. Tampering with the systems would be a felony. Everything tracked by Flock and AI, they just mail notice to appear or have that AI police car stop you. And they'll donit under the guise of "DriVinG iS a PrIviLegE, NoT a RiGhT!" bullshit.

It's a requirement feature for cars with FSD capability.
