Risky Bulletin: All new cars to include a camera aimed at the driver's face

The European Union has mandated that all new cars include an infrared camera monitoring the driver's face to detect distracted driving, with the same requirement set to take effect in the US next year. The camera tracks head position and eye movements to alert drivers when their attention drifts from the road. Privacy advocates have raised concerns about the continuous facial surveillance capability.

Why it matters: Vehicle manufacturers and privacy-conscious drivers need to understand the compliance requirements and implications of mandatory in-cabin monitoring across new vehicles in major markets.
