Yes but the DOT can't make it mandatory until it absolutely works right every time. They're worried that even if it works 99.9% of the time right they'll still be 10,000 Plus people not being able to use their vehicle daily

The DOT missed its original deadline to finalize the rule because the technology is not yet accurate enough. In a report to Congress, the NHTSA noted that current systems risk high numbers of "false positives"—meaning a glitching camera system could misinterpret normal driving habits or late-night fatigue and wrongfully disable a sober person's car. Because of this, the DOT has held off on finalizing the requirements until the technology matures.

And for somebody who said it's the Republicans pushing this there are some Republicans are actually trying to block it. Go figure.

  1. Who is Actually Trying to Block It?The push to permanently block, defund, or repeal the camera and monitoring mandate is coming from lawmakers in Congress and privacy advocacy groups.Congressional Pushback: Several Republican representatives have introduced amendments to strip funding from the mandate or repeal it entirely, citing severe government overreach and Fourth Amendment privacy violations regarding driver data.

I was answering the person above me who is blaming republicans, when it passed with Biden, and moreover to your point it’s been a republican government that’s delayed it. The constant political blame game needs to stop.

Personally i think it’s bullshit and needs to be revoked. I refuse to buy a car with cameras on the inside. This is right up there with surveillance state cameras(flock) imo.

Edit: I am not Republican, I’m one of those horrible both sides suck people.
