Volvo will use cameras to combat drunk driving and distracted driving

Cameras and sensors will pay attention to factors such as drivers who close their eyes for a long time, who look far from the road, very slow reaction times, long walkways and lack of direction over long periods. Volvo plans to start installing sensors and cameras in all its cars from the early 2020s. More details will be revealed later. Starting in the 2021 model year, all Volvo cars will also reach a top speed of 180 km / h (112 mph) to stop speeding.

However, with these cameras and sensors, worry about surveillance is inevitable and that drivers are comfortable with explicit monitoring when they are driving. Volvo is aware of these concerns. He "wants to start a discussion on whether automakers have the right, if not even the obligation, to install a technology in cars that changes the behavior of their drivers," says the press release.
