Feds Surveillance Tech Mandatory 2027 [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

Found in the JL Forum....Here are a couple blurbs quoted from same:

- Your next car purchase comes with an unwelcome passenger: a federal mandate requiring surveillance technology that monitors your every blink, glance, and head nod.

- Infrared cameras and sensors create a constant biometric assessment of driver alertness and sobriety.

- The tech involves infrared cameras mounted on steering columns or A-pillars, tracking eye movement, pupil dilation, and drowsiness patterns. Unlike the breathalyzer ignition interlocks from DUI convictions, these systems operate passively

- If the AI determines you’re impaired (blood alcohol ≥0.08% or showing fatigue), it can prevent ignition startup or limit vehicle speed.

- The surveillance rollout targets late 2026 to 2027 for all new passenger vehicles.

- While NHTSA’s final rule faced delays beyond the November 2024 deadline, automakers will still get 2-3 years for full implementation once regulations are finalized. Your current vehicle stays surveillance-free, but shopping for a 2027 model means accepting this digital copilot.

- The privacy implications extend beyond federal oversight. While the law doesn’t mandate external data sharing, manufacturers could potentially upload biometric data to corporate servers, raising concerns about sharing with insurance companies to adjust your premiums based on driving behavior.

- The federal government promises this surveillance saves 9,000-10,000 lives annually. Whether that justifies your car becoming a mobile panopticon depends on how much vehicle autonomy you’re willing to trade for theoretical safety gains.

This will kill new vehicle sales in the coming years.

 

[LOL WUT]

I could not care less. Put 1000 cameras in my vehicles.

I think I’m going to buy some stock in who ever makes black electrical tape…

My first thought was nothing a roll of electrical tape won't fix, then I was like nah I've got wire cutters and fuse pullers.

Bet you a dollar your car won't start or shift into gear if the system is obscured or disabled - just like how running out of DEF prevents a diesel from starting despite it being perfectly capable of running without DEF.

Possibly, but I'm sure there's a way to defeat the def just like anything else.

Goverment has become to powerful and we need to really rid ourselves from them. Safety and peace from goverment will come at the cost of Freedom smh.

The article says the system has to be able to accept OTA updates. If I were an evil dickhead, I'd learn from the EPA defeats and take a page from the video game industry - build a system that has to call in and authenticate itself with the mothership for it to work.

I think I need an old Land Cruiser to park next to the LJ...
