   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?

         There's a certain irony in a touchscreen modal popping up to tell you to keep your eyes on the road.

            I love the billboards reminding me to keep my eyes on the road that are excessively loud and eye-catching.

            Like, mate, who's side are you on?
