Been reading the posts about screens in vehicles vs physical buttons, and saw an ABC news reel last night speaking about the automatic braking features of 2023+ vehicles...

This sounds great and all right??

Do ya'll know about the 2026 infrastructure bill, and some of what it demanding auto-makers to incorporate into their vehicles? One 'feature' is BAC volume detection - vehicles will have to passively detect blood alchohol levels of drivers, passengers and m0re...

Ford and Volvo are already implementing these 'features' in 2o24. Their steering wheels will automatically detect the BAC of drivers; ok, that sounds smart, right???? Errrhmmmm... maybe not so much. Volvo will also detect alchohol content in the AIR of their customers vehicles - wait, this is starting to feel a little weird, right???

The vehicles will turn off, or otherwise incapacitate the driver from... driving. What if yer camping; all people present have been drinking, but theres an emergency that requires driving?

Or - so many other instances... what if the technology 'detects' alchohol, but its not... we all have that driver in our circle that presses the gas too much, or otherwise drives in a way that we think is... silly.

Whats the bar? Where does it stop? The auto manufacturers say they'll implement interior cameras in vehicles... will these be detecting 'suspicious' activity? Where does the data go?

This is in the 'infrastructure bill' that team Biden has put into place... it takes hold in 2026, but Ford & Volvo are bringing technology as soon as NEXT YEAR...

NEVER, NO, STOP - f you.
