AI in your car will determine if you're sober and fit to drive, automatically turning off the vehicle if it determines you're a danger on the road.
How can it distinguish between the driver and drunk passengers? What if driver is a sober DD?

Good news is that consumers dictate the market and this could be something that kills sales. We see innovation like this crushed all the time by consumers
That only works when those same consumers don't vote for a government that sends millions of dollars to those companies just to keep them afloat.
And yes I know ford didn't take bailout money but that doesn't mean they won't and my point remains: consumers can't control the market when it is artificially inflated. Eventually the market stabilizes and consumers no longer have choices: you will drive the invasive tech or you will walk.

Ford has given billions to leftist causes for many years.

I literally have a webpage opened on my desktop that allows me the ability to remote into our fleet vehicles 360-degree cameras. Also, an in-cabin camera. The AI tech also sends alerts when people are sleepy, on their phones, following too closely, accelerating too quickly, braking too hard, etc. So yes, this is all very real.

Big opportunity for anybody who wants to invest in the knowledge and equipment to re-program the affected vehicles.

Yes its real. Our newer work truck wont shift unless your seat belt is on.
What happens if the seat belt malfunctions? I just cant drive the truck

When you push for MADD-style DWI response and for things like cameras on every intersection, you're naturally going to have products like this come to market.
Which is why I have always been a staunch opponent of these sorts of things.

Don't buy an American car.

My Ford Explorer pops up a warning when whatever AI is embedded into the system notices from my eye movements when I start getting what I call 'road hypnosis' when I get tired. If I get that message, I know that my reaction time isn't the best, so I do pull off and take a quick break.
FYI - the image sensors used in cars and trucks for this is using a typically built right into the dash.

What year Explorer? I have a 2013 and looking to upgrade but don't want any of that crap.

It's 2017 and try not being paranoid. If you're flying down the road and someone coming towards you is starting to zone out, possibly fall asleep at the wheel, and the car flashes a warning and an audible alert to their condition and it snaps them out of a lull, that's not necessarily a bad use of technology.

2026 F250 here. You can disable the seatbelt warning with a simple trick.
Also, FORScan allows you to change a lot of settings on the truck.

I may be looking for a vehicle within the next couple of years. Probably a Highlander with 2022 being as “new” as I will go. Don’t want a tech heavy vehicle.

yeah, it's called a "kill switch". I think they are already on all 2026 models. This is another reason to buy used cars that are 20 years old.

It won't stop at alerts.
Eventually it will progress to the car slows down and pulls over.
And for every valid use case like you mention above, how many others will that uninitiated pull over affect negatively?
If you say that isn't coming, you're completely naive.
