I’m trying to figure out of this is just the distracted driving safety feature that’s been on every car I’ve bought in the last 6 years. If so it can be disabled and really isn’t that big of a deal when it’s enabled. Just sends you an alert when it detects you weaving within the lane a little too much. I can’t help but think this article might be a little sensationalistic.
The surveillance-in-a-car framing sounds dramatic until you realize that most new vehicles from Subaru, General Motors, Ford, and several European brands already ship with driver monitoring systems built in.
Your link actually answers my question. They’re already in most cars, mine included. The data isn’t being transmitted to the government. The manufacturer would be able to access it, sure, but that’s nothing now. It also doesn’t mean that every car is going to have eye monitoring equipment - most of the cars that already have it don’t.
Look I’m not saying I support this law but the articles posted here are very sensationalistic.

These things aren’t going to just give you an alert. They’re going to disable the car if it thinks you’re impaired.
The car manufacturers even warned the government about false positives that they can’t prevent and Congress moved ahead anyway.
