1oo%. While I do drive new[er] vehicles, these issues are really bothering me as of late - what sucks is that we're already here; these things are coming whether we like it or not. These BAC sensors are coming, and damn right some companies are probably going to overstep and install 'features' that contact police, use interior cameras and etc etc... I'm hoping for some companies to take a stand against that sort of thing, but in the US anyway - we gotta wake up and realize whats in Bidens infrastructure bill.

Hell, they might not even MEAN for these technologies to be so bad - everyone agrees that automatic-braking is a valuable and good feature; I *love* that the bill says that feature needs to protect 85% of all 64mph and lower accidents - but lots of the things they are asking for AREN'T these technologies that everyone agrees with...
