One problem with new 'driver alertness monitoring" systems is some of them don't like certain sunglasses.
The system "thinks" you aren't paying attention to the road and will issue a series of warnings, the last being "pull over and park the engine will turn off in 5 minutes."

A cousin is a lawyer (yea the shame) and has blue eyes and sneezes in bright sunlight and has prescription sunglasses. Really dark sunglasses. The system can't see her eyes, decides she isn't paying attention and goes into 'I'm gonna stop" routine. She and the dealership went around and around until she brought up the Americans With Disabilities Act. The dealer offered a full refund, she refused and demanded the driver alert system be either modified or disabled. The company sent an engineer and reprogrammed the master CPU and ancillary units and turned off the driver alert system.

The company is terrified of a class action law suit which I hope there is one and they have their heads handed to them.

If people really understood all the data modern? cars and trucks collect on them there'd be? a revolution.
Their cars monitor and record conversations, video, one company even claims the right to collect DNA

I wonder how long before someone hacks into a car and shuts it down with bad results for the driver.
