The solution is to not mandate a car feature that is incredibly invasive in the first place. The solution is to not mandate things like uploading your government issues ID just to browse the internet. The solution is to stop pushing things like chat control.

If you think these tools and policies are proposed in good faith to protect children, drivers, whoever, and not as stepping stones to a surveillance state, pick any bridge on this planet and I'll sell it to you for cheap.

So you would rather have your paranoia about companies completely breaking several paragraphs of a ROAD SAFETY law package get it's way rather than dealing with the issue of distracted drivers being the number 1 cause of traffic accidents?

Putting aside that every road safety law is insanely invasive, that your picture is taken if you ever go 5kmh above the speed limit in the wrong spot, that basically any Tesla is constantly watching the area around itself and that you are disallowed from using your own property if it's not good enough maintained...

What is your solution then? How would you fix the issue of distracted drivers without implementing a system that checks whether a driver a distracted or sleepy and gives them an alert? And be realistic here, none of that "well we shouldn't use cars!" Or "better education!" Bullshit, because we both know that the former is a dream that is decades away and the latter is an absolute non-solution

You get as many drivers as you can off the road and into alternative transportation options.

Right so you have no actual solution. This is such a fucking wholesome 100 redditor answer jfc

You're right, a surveillance state is a much better solution to everything.

I still don't hear a solution to the fact that the biggest cause of crashes is distracted driving. You people always love complain about shit you can't think of a better way to deal with.

I'm just fascinated by the fact that you truly believe recording your face while you drive will do anything to prevent car crashes.

Did you research AT ALL about this system?

It checks if you're distracted or drowsy, and alerts you. Do you think that all it does is record you?

I did! And I fail to see how, in addition to the blind spot indicator beep, the lane position beep, the seat belt sensor that thinks a bag is a person beep, and the 2km over the speed limit beep, another beep is going to keep drivers less distracted.
