The BlueCruise system, an £18-a-month subscription add-on to the £50,000 electric car, uses radars and cameras to track road markings and other vehicles, and an infrared camera in the car to ensure the driver’s eyes remain on the road ahead.

 

It will be usable on a geofenced area of 2,300 miles of motorway – over 95% of the network – in England, Scotland and Wales.

 

Wait until this is the only option and they cancel your subscription if you're not a model citizen. That's a hard pass from me fam.

 

That's without mentioning the fact that all this crap is to track us more too.

If it is self-driving how do they explain the need to ensure the driver's eyes are on the road? Surely the whole point of self-driving is so y9ou can read a book while the car does the driving...
