You are arguing for the right to drive a car while distracted?

If this little bit of technology can help prevent an accident, where is the harm?

I don’t see what the fear is here. Help me out. So what if the car records that you were distracted at the exact moment that your car takes out a light pole?

[ You are arguing for the right to drive a car while distracted? ]

No I am not.

[ If this little bit of technology can help prevent an accident, where is the harm? ] No Harm if it is used for that purpose.

[ I don’t see what the fear is here. Help me out. So what if the car records that you were distracted at the exact moment that your car takes out a light pole? ]

Imagine this scenario, you are on the road in a multipel lane highway, there is a semi truck next to you and has a load on it of pallets or soemthing and something falls from it, your perepheral vision sees it and your eyes move to the debris falling off the truck as some hits the side of your car... all of a sudden the person ahead of you slams on their brakes and you rear end them....

They convict YOU of manslaughter because you slammed into a mini-van of kids ahead of you that slammed onthe brake because the “eye sensor” said you were distracted (even though the distraction was legitimate), but they trust the sensor more than your testimony...

Enjoy getting out of that....
