To have some manufacturer decipher where I look or how often I need to look forward, how many hands are on the steering wheel per second block, or decide how I should look for their definition of being alert is wrong. You don't hear any governance manipulating manufacturers towards drunk, drug, unfamiliar or underage stops for driving. Or cars stopping if a phone is performing certain applications. How about a car that only go X faster then the speed limit, or more importantly no less than 3 under the speed limit if still throttled. What about saying hey you selfish ass hole, indicate for the corner next time.
For my money when governance and law enforcement allow comers and sound in their private space then I'll be happy with it in mine. Its bad enough outside your house you are being tracked along with your phone just so they know if they have too. I joke with the wife on wearing a balaclava for my worthless data when in public, but that would be deemed offensive. And I've never had the police come around to ask me if I need help with my work, so don't understand why they ask me for help with theirs or want my car in regards in doing so.
So typically technology is used to BS customers to improve their lives, but also allows control over community. So not interested in a car that controls my life more than it already it.

That's already in the works.
