      Now if this piece of regulation passes what’s preventing your government from allowing full blown rollout of ai based fines system using camera networks for example ? This crap lowers the bar in terms of human validation a whole lot.

        I’m about to say something that can be read as me supporting this shit, and I do not.

        However.

        Driving fatigued is about as unsafe as driving drunk. Assuming you are actually fatigued.

        There was a time in the past when we allowed people to actively drink and drive.

        I think - for the most part - not allowing that was a good idea.

        IN THEORY preventing people from driving fatigued is not a bad idea.

        IN PRACTICE we all know it won’t be as simple as that.

        But the basic idea itself is… not all bad. It’s a pity we know it’ll go to shit.
