My first thought is to cover the camera, but I guess the car won’t start at all then… right?

Will it be locally processed or send to a server?
Only the first would be acceptable, but I guess the last will happen.
And what happens if you remove the SIM card of the car, would the car still start?

The regulation doesn’t say what happens to your data
While there’s little question about the intention behind the new ADDW systems, there’s a lot of ambiguity and concern over data privacy, with little clarity in the underlying regulations.
On the positive side, the regulations require the ADDW system to work on a “closed loop” without the use of biometric data. This means that the data used to determine whether a driver is “distracted” must not leave the vehicle or be transmitted to the automobile manufacturer, its servers, or any third party. In essence, the data should be processed locally within the vehicle itself.
However, there are still several concerns surrounding the implementation:
- The regulations do not impose any independent audit or assurance mechanism to ensure that the ADDW systems installed in automobiles actually operate on a closed-loop basis.
- There’s little clarity over how the data is handled, what happens once the “distraction” decision is made by the system, how long the data is retained, or when it is deleted.
Article 6(3) of the GSR states that the system should be designed in such a way that it does not continuously record or retain data other than what is necessary for its purpose. However, it fails to define what is considered “necessary” specifically for ADDW systems, nor does it specify the exact retention period for such data.
If footage or eye-tracking data from a system like this were ever exposed in a data breach or shared without your knowledge, it could reveal detailed patterns about your daily habits, your location, and who rides in the car with you. That kind of exposure can feed into identity theft or phishing attacks built around information a scammer should never have had.

I hope to see the used car repair and reselling market thrive 
But the EU may eventually mandate such camera be installed in all vehicles anyway 
Perhaps there is a way to project an image of a person driving normally into the camera?

Instead of this bullshit they shouldjust bump up the fines for driving with your phone, or other bullshit to a level were its actually hurts so that people care.
I think driving with your phone should cost 15 000€+ .
And it should increase every time you get caught.
Wouldn’t it be far eassier to just get the lcoation data that the car manufactures has anyway in most cars?
