Every new car sold in Europe now comes with a mandatory camera watching your face. The system monitors driver attention and drowsiness, alerting you if it detects you're distracted or getting tired. The European Union mandated the technology as a safety measure to prevent accidents, though it's sparked debate over privacy and surveillance. According to Hacker News, the requirement applies to all new vehicle sales across the EU bloc.
