could you enforce that though? just drive an older car and/or don’t pair your phone to the stereo.
Education campaigns could help, as you say it’s the responsibility of the end user here, but I just think tech-gated solutions won’t get us far enough, if at all.
We’re already in a totalitarian surveillance state tbh, we’re talking about what to do with our personal surveillance devices while we operate heavy machinery, most of which is fitted with dashcams as well
You don’t really need to enforce it at the end user level.
You’re not trying to stop reckless Teddy who drives drunk and texts while masturbating. You’re trying to stop people who otherwise have good intentions making a poor decision because of a distracting alert, a passing impulse etc.
It’s like a seatbelt alarm. you can ignore it, you can disconnect the chime, you can stuff foam into the speaker. Nobody does, it’s to help people who were probably going to put on a seatbelt anyway make that call, in case they forgot or were going to give it a miss for the short 50 m “just moving the car” drive etc.
