Drunk driving is one thing but it will also judge how tired you are? Driving tired is dangerous. Unfortunately a huge portion of our economy runs on people working too many hours at too many jobs. A huge invasion of privacy with all sorts of knockon effects.

For the people who think they will disable this. You won't be able to without also disabling your car and voiding your warrenty.

Unlikely as that would mean any fault with the system would disable the car which would be a PR nightmare.

These systems can generally be disabled without more than an error light on the dash.

A car warranty lasts like 2 years. I can't afford a car less than 2 years old.

One of the few upsides to Hyundai 10 year warranty may not be perfect. But it pretty much makes sure the car at least goes vroom the entire time.

The sad part is that I did some math on my shitty car spending (I have a problem with buying old weird cars) and I found that I was actually way ahead of people with a car payment. Like we are talking about having 7 interesting shit boxes (3 or so on the road at any time) and repairs coming out less then the cost of financing. Shits gotten wild.
