The EU is quickly becoming the surveillance capital of the world.
EU has a while to go to become the surveillance capital I think.
You have a camera aimed at your face when typing this nonsense post.
Not everyone is on their phone, or a laptop.
On a site for tech enthusiasts, there are a shocking amount of folks with very "tech is what you get at the Apple Store" mindsets about.
Nor does everyone leave front-facing cameras (or any device camera) uncovered.
There's no minimum fidelity required, you could use potentially any sensor to surveil. It's a question of use.
In the US, it is MY job and no one else's to make sure I don't fall asleep driving my own car. In the same way it's my job to make sure I don't leave my stove on and burn down the apartment building. Should we also install cameras on every stove in every apartment?
If the US government tried to force-install cameras into our cars to watch us, there'd be a revolution.
Section 24209 requires regulators to research driver monitoring systems to deal with driver distraction, disengagement, automation complacency, and misuse of driver automation systems, and then to either start the rule making to implement such monitoring or report to Congress explaining why it cannot be done.
Section 24220 might also be relevant. That section is dealing with drunk and impaired driving, and part of that will be monitoring driver performance.

If anything, the incredible thing is this "me-only" mindset that many have.
Car: You appear to be suffering from acne. Try Zit-away, available at the convenience store in 2.4 kilometers.
Car: Facial recognition failed. Car is now disabled. Contact your car dealer to reenable vehicle.
I guess it's just hard to imagine that the government may work FOR the people?
