All new cars are scanning us already...

Don't really like talking about this on our happy strip club website, but...

I previously brought this up in relation to our IDs being scanned at clubs. This is not some wild eyed lunatic website, it is Consumer Reports:

consumerreports.org

And both Democrats and Republicans are fine with it. Which shows how stupid it is to argue politics. All either party cares about is themselves!

I'm going to be looking at used cars if they have warranties

Depreciation sucks too

Both parties are wings of the same bird. Americans just trade Red Tyranny for Blue Tyranny every election cycle.

Here is what is next: "By 2027, U.S. federal mandates will require new passenger vehicles to feature advanced, in-cabin cameras and sensors designed to combat impaired and distracted driving. These systems will use infrared technology to track eye movement, pupil dilation, and head position to monitor driver alertness, potentially disabling vehicles if impairment is detected.

Key Aspects of 2027 Driver Monitoring Mandates Mandatory Implementation: Stemming from the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, these systems will be standard in all new vehicles, likely taking effect by late 2026 or 2027. Technology Used: Infrared cameras and AI-driven sensors will track driver behavior, specifically looking for signs of fatigue, drunkenness, and distraction (e.g., looking away from the road, phone usage). Active Intervention: Unlike current passive alerts, these systems may prevent the car from starting or limit operation if the driver is determined to be impaired. Privacy Concerns: The mandate has raised significant privacy questions regarding the collection of biometric data and the potential for "surveillance". Cost Impact: The technology is expected to add roughly

to the cost of new vehicles. Scope: While initially focused on impaired driving, this infrastructure may be used to monitor broader, real-time driving behavior. Yahoo Autos Yahoo Autos +6 These regulations are part of a broader shift toward increased vehicle-based surveillance for safety, similar to initiatives in Europe and in addition to increasing use of exterior, law-enforcement-linked speed cameras in work zones.
