If the AI determines you’re impaired (blood alcohol ≥0.08% or showing fatigue), it can prevent ignition startup or limit vehicle speed.

That should go well for my drives across -20F(-30C) degree areas. That first option could literally get someone killed at worst or cause some interesting problems at best. You’re tired and want to fill up before heading to the hotel? Now you’re stuck at the gas pump.

False positives are going to be rampant. I remember the face tracking cameras that didn’t work at all for anybody that wasn’t Caucasian. I’d imagine there is going to be tons of lawsuits from accessibility groups when it misidentifies perfectly alert people due to some abnormality.

Now if this piece of regulation passes what’s preventing your government from allowing full blown rollout of ai based fines system using camera networks for example ? This crap lowers the bar in terms of human validation a whole lot.
