    Seatbelts are simple. Aside from the big brother distopian nightmare this proposal enables, I’m not convinced such a thing it technically possible.

      I can see the headlines about the first time it’s rolled out… all the headlines are short people being mad that they were flagged as kids

        Or the police officers who rushed on scene to find a bag of groceries in the back seat…after smashing a window…

      I’ve had rental cars chirp back at me when I tried to lock them because my backpack was in the back seat.

      PIR occupancy sensor + thermometer + window open sensor + seat occupancy sensor/scale + door lock/child lock sensor + decibel limit on microphone already in car

      Technically possible, yes. Most of the equipment is already there. It’s just a matter of tuning everything to work together to solve the specific problem. The bigger problem in my eyes is most people would treat this as a perfect solution instead of a last resort like what happened with Tesla’s FSD.

      It’s more a question of money than feasibility. I’m pretty sure a couple manufacturers already have basic capabilities similar to this
