I'm calling it here and now: this absolutely will become mandatory in the nearish future. 100%.
Same as in Europe with the speed regulator thingy in the cars... advisory at first now mandatory in many places.
- madrox 2y ago* For some definition of near and mandatory Even when they started mandating airbags in new vehicles, it took something like seven years to go into effect so car manufacturers had time to plan. And then they didn’t make cars that didn’t have airbags illegal. Even the most universally embraced ideas take time to roll out.
- ItsBob 2y agoI agree: it won't happen overnight. It will happen within a handful of years though. Too much potential for control to let it pass...
- pixxel 2y agoAirbags aren’t a useful tool for data/control.
- micahdeath 2y agoWe have to get the `internet` or some other network rolled out first.
- whartung 2y agoRear cameras are required now, or will be in a few years. Dunno if this is a California thing or national, but just like the third brake light, this is already happening. California is also working on legislation to require cars to be aware of where they are so they can notify the driver if they’re speeding.
