EU mandates driver-facing cameras in all new cars

New regulations in the European Union mandate that all new cars sold must be equipped with driver monitoring systems. These systems, which include cameras aimed at the driver's face, are intended to detect and prevent distracted driving. The implementation is part of the EU's General Safety Regulation, with Euro NCAP also incorporating these requirements into its safety ratings. AI
