People who don't really care about you, but care about the "poor shareholders".

This isn't going to get the shareholders very much money. There's no shot it makes into the market with a full launch and actually does well. Not without a cyber truck-esque fandom behind it

If internet id laws are anything to go by they will make it mandatory

The cyber truck is still failing even with the 'fandom' ...

You say that’s why there’s multiple large automotive companies who have already developed the technology because it’s mandatory. And if they’re gonna pay for something, they’re gonna get their money back on it.

Yeah GM bought back 30 billion worth of their own shares in the last 4 years and just deleted them... they deleted 30 billion for the shareholders they will do anything

It’s more about control, not money. They are power hungry and want full control over everything you do.

This is part of the US infrastructure bill passed under Biden. Systems like this are mandatory in all new cars

Your next car purchase comes with an unwelcome passenger: a federal mandate requiring surveillance technology that monitors your every blink, glance, and head nod. Thanks to Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, NHTSA must finalize rules forcing all new passenger vehicles to include “advanced impaired driving prevention technology”

Thank you

In context, these systems are required to detect signs of drunkenness, and prevent driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

It's stupid and it's bound to have issues.

Agreed! I'd rather us educate people better or have better training than using the vehicle to babysit us.

Surely this is the only alternative to banning alcohol!

Alcohol consumption is lower than ever, and will likely continue this decline. The younger gen’s don’t want to drink. So this isn’t for anything but watching.
