More seriously, onboard driver aids which check the driver is paying
attention would be far more effective. ANU spinoff Seeing Machines
make a device to check the driver is looking out the window. This is
now installed in some up-market cars:

And since every new gadget, technology, regulation, etc. has its'
inherent problems, what are the downsides of those technologies?
When I see another vehicle coming towards me at a relative speed of ~200
kph the last thing I want before I take evasive action is fight the
driver-management computer or think through the technology first.
