Federal surveillance cameras in all American cars after 2027? Welp. All 2026 and years before from this point on I guess.

did I miss something once again?!

No OTA upgrade concerns on my end as I have a car whose software they couldn't update even in the shop due to a firmware incompatibility in the steering wheel.馃槀

this impairment data including pupillometry will be sold sold sold for soooo much $$$. It will be an opt in, but every time you tap your infotainment the opt-in message will pop up in between two other menus that require a legit "I agree" button. examples from my car's infotainment.

The worst part of this, is that even if you drive an older car, or even if you can disable the cameras. Every other car on the road will still be surveilling you.
