   This seems like something that needs legislation to address.

      I'm sure that will go about as well as protecting the privacy of individuals in the face of "but the CHILDREN!" age verification.

      In-vehicle monitoring allows car manufacturers to remind the user to buckle up, keep their eyes on the road, stay off their phones, remind them to take breaks, turn the radio down in tense traffic, remind the driver to take a breath based on increased heart rate to minimize road rage, etc.

      Heck, we could really reduce lack of seatbelt related injuries and deaths if we could eliminate the 'drive' function while seatbelts are not properly worn (which we can now check with our AI cameras )

      What are you some kind of anti-safe-driving nut?

         All new cars in the EU really have in-vehicle monitoring reminding you to keep your eyes on the road

            I don't know if it's required yet by law, but some cars in the US do as well. My F150 will nag me if it thinks I'm not looking at the road for too long.
