Surveillance in new vehicles starting 2027

I'm not too sure I like the thought of having surveillance cameras in EVERY vehicle starting 2027...even though it's to be used to detect impairment. I just wonder how many people will be spied on through that technology for other uses?

Every New Car Could Become a Surveillance Machine by 2027 — And It May Decide If You Can Drive

This isn’t some distant concept or experimental feature that might show up years from now. By 2027, every new car sold in the United States could be required to actively monitor the person behind the wheel. That means watching your eyes, tracking your behavior, and constantly evaluating whether...

I really don't want to give up the little bit of privacy we have left. I'd rather have a little bit more crime in the world and have vehicles without surveillance, thanks.
