For several seconds in the video, he turns the camera around to show the scene on the bridge where you can see multiple people and bicycles lying on the roadway. “Babe, I killed somebody, babe.”
… and he calls some random people after he mows down the cyclists, but not 911? How is he only facing misdemeanor charges?!?
Honestly, there are now lots of eye tracking software that can be used to check if someone is looking where they’re supposed to. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be common in the near term as we’re forced to look at ads…
Oh yeah, completely agree as long as it’s done by the car with no telemetry or anything. When it comes to features like this my big worry is always privacy. The safety is a good thing.
90% of these I see involve a pickup.
Maybe the driver should be forced to drive compact vehicles for several years.
That said it does seem like it could be a texting and driving situation which would warrant more punishment.
I’m usually against technology lock outs but I do long for cars to be able to limit phone functionality while driving.
How car knows it driver phone or passenger?

Aside from that, fuck cars.
My car turns off cruise control if you look away from the road for any length of time.
@dankm @veganpizza69 such tech is becoming mandatory, this is a good thing.

@dankm as it must work without reception processing must be on board, and a stream of video is enough data people would notice.
Oh and despite what fraudsters claim an IR camera does not see through clothes, so don’t worry about that aspect.
That sounds awful. We shouldn’t support that kind of invasive tech for any reason.
