This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
My car is constantly telling me to drive with both hands or yo get coffee when I am driving fine.
Many years ago I had a somewhat scary car accident and since I drive very cautiously and never speed. Yet this fucking thing is still yelling at me all the time.
If I could figure out how it decides to yell at me, I would unplug it.
What the fuck? When did Congress pass this, and why wasn't there a huge public outcry against it?
Reminder that this requires all vehicles be SOLD with the tech. It says nothing about what happens to it after purchase.
It'll be like every other car with driver assistance and every other advanced feature now, everything gets strapped to the same CANbus and unified powerttrain control module so disabling one part of the system causes the car to get stuck in limp mode, have constant nusiance alerts, and fail state inspections to get registered.
2027, year of Linux car, or bicycle.
A linux bicycle sounds like a cool project! I've been wanting to add a mini a pc to my bike, to track trips and display important navigational information, but to connect to my local home server rather than some black box service.
Dynamo lighting has gotten really efficient. It wouldn't be cheap, but would be so cool to make a fully human-powered Linux bike. https://www.bikeradar.com/advice/buyers-guides/bike-dynamos
So how much is this tech going to raise already stupidly high car prices.
$100-$500 according to the article. No discount for the biometric data they'll sell.
Because they were already selling it before.

A team of Australian scientists have cooked up a new AI-driven camera system that can detect whether you are too drunk to drive a vehicle.
But the project isn’t quite ready for wide use with only 75 percent accuracy, according to the researchers out of Edith Cowan University in Western Australia, who had presented this camera project at a computer vision conference earlier this year.
Should be interesting.
with only 75 percent accuracy
Unless they're telling you the Type 1 and Type 2 error rates, they're not worth a shit.
