Really interesting bill, I know there was a push some years ago to do something like it. Not sure how it's infrastructure but drunk driving does kill thousands every year (I think it also skews heavily younger) in the States alone so this is definitely interesting. I wonder if all cars will essentially come with distracted driving cameras that double as doing this function since it's mandated now and there's no downside in using the interior camera for multiple functions.

Another reason for the price of new cars to have to be increased by the manufacturer

But cheaper overall if it works well. Insurance costs, etc. go down, not to mention the lives saved.

Lives may be saved but insurrance never goes down.
