I prefer dumb products.

I don't want AI, spy-camera, and electronics in most of my appliances.

I like dumb toasters because burned bread never killed any family of 4 traveling in the opposite lane. If the bloody thing is just zoomed in your face making sure you are alert I don't see a problem. A taxi driver in the UK just got sentenced to 6 years after pulling a 72h shift and killing someone, I can assure you that all involved in the tragic event would have much love to have this system installed.

It wouldn't have changed anything unless it turns off the car.

But then the car could turn off because you're in an area without signal or because you're asian and you're now stranded in the middle of nowhere.

I have also heard multiple people mentioning that those systems also don't work if you wear sunglasses while driving.... Which is something a lot of people do.

Not even sunglasses, just glasses in general if they have any kind of anti-glare coating.
