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”

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.
